4.
Find an empty ISA expansion slot that’s at
least as long as the gold edge of your
modem. (ISA slots are usually black plastic
grooves lined with silver metal.) Unscrew
and remove the expansion slot cover (the
long narrow piece of metal that keeps dust
from entering through the opening
perpendicular to the slot). Be careful not to
drop the screw into the computer. You will
need it later to screw the modem into place.
5.
Holding the modem at each corner, with the
gold edge facing the slot, push the modem
down as gently as possible until it snaps into
the expansion slot. (The following diagram
shows horizontally aligned expansion slots.
Some computers have vertically aligned
slots. The instructions apply to both styles.)
You need to apply a little pressure to seat
the modem properly. Sometimes a gentle
back-and-forth motion helps fit the modem
all the way into the slot. If you feel
resistance, the modem may not be properly
lined up with the slot. Do not force it into
the slot. Remove the modem and try again.
