You don't have to do in BIOS itself. See my earlier message example:
date --utc -s "hour:minute:seconds"
hwclock --utc --systohc
So for me here in Seattle area, it is 12:56:22 PDT and 19:56:33 UTC.
I could run:
date --utc -s "19:56:33" # or date -s 12:56:22
hwclock --utc --systohc
It is normal practice for Unix systems to have their hardware clock in
UTC.
Then set up your /etc/localtime for example:
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime
or
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Phoenix /etc/localtime
Have fun!
