Replacing the I/O Card in a client's computer

Today Oliver and I went to a client's restaurant because their receipt printer wasn't working properly. We replaced the I/O Card and loaded the new program from a CD-ROM. To get it to run the new program we had to go into Device Manager, open the Serial Protocol, have the computer find the program, and set it to "COM1". Then we tested the device through the command prompt and after it worked, tested it again within the program the restaurant will use and it worked fully.

the IO card need to be low profile, so we modify the regular height card to fit in the case. it is a PCI-E
 adapter. 

PCI-E and PCI card pix can be seen on the attached pictures.



Here in the PCI card note how long the connector (in orange) is.









While in the PCIe card it's much more short, making better for more compact computers.
