Chapter 2 Before You Begin
»
Use a grounding strap - a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an
elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach
the clip to any non-painted metal surface of your computer chassis.
»
If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface
of your computer chassis before you begin installation, and again
every minute or so until the installation is completed.
2.3 Installation Notes
•
Computers come in different shapes and sizes. Therefore, the installation
procedures in this manual apply generally and you should compare the
illustrations here with your computer.
•
A Philips screwdriver is required.
•
The documentation for your computer should come in handy during the
installation. Have it ready by your side.
•
If you have an existing modem
non
Plug-and-Play installed in your computer,
you must first de-install its modem drivers before you remove the card.
Refer to the documentation of your existing modem card for more details.
If your existing modem is Plug-and-Play, then you can proceed to install
your new modem card.
