Like I said: "Do what with my what?" The are mostly standard. The have to be if they use insulation displacement cables. The wires are all in parallel and don't swap around inside a flat actable. But there is the odd chane of "off by one" or "even vs. odd" problems so the best way is to read the mother board mmanual and then find the manual from the serial card. YES you can find the serial card manual if you send enough time hunting the newegg or web site r google. For $4 you can afford to gamble and I'd say you have a 80% chance of it working. Those flat cable make it hard to be wrong. Worst case is you buy some jumper cable with make pines on one and and female on the other and patch it together.
