A system for updating a basic input/output system (BIOS) includes a server ( 1 ) and a client computer ( 2 ) having a serial port ( 21 ). The server includes a storage ( 10 ) and a BIOS loading unit ( 11 ). The storage is used for storing customized strings, BIOS codes and a BIOS updating program. The BIOS loading unit is used for loading the customized strings, the BIOS codes and the BIOS updating program to the client computer through the serial port. The client computer includes a read only memory (ROM) ( 20 ) for storing the BIOS ( 200 ) of the client computer and a booting program ( 201 ). The booting program is used for initializing the serial port, receiving the customized strings, the BIOS codes and the BIOS updating program from the server, generating a checksum for checking the validity of the BIOS of the client computer, and executing the BIOS updating program to update invalid BIOS of the client computer. A related method is also disclosed.
