2.1 Installing the Modem
NOTE: If your computer came with an internal modem, you must physically
remove it or disable it through your computer’s BIOS setup. Consult your
computer’s manual or manufacturer for specific instructions.
1. Turn off your computer and disconnect any attached devices
and power cords. Remove any diskettes.
2. Remove the computer’s cover and locate an available 16-bit
expansion slot. Remove that expansion slot cover and save the
screw.
3. Remove the modem from its anti-static bag,
handling it by its edges and retaining bracket.
Be careful not to touch the edge connector or
any components on the card.
4. Carefully insert the modem into the expansion
slot you selected, applying pressure to the
upper board edge until it is seated in the slot.
5. Secure the modem into place by aligning its
metal retaining bracket with the hole in the
top edge of the system’s rear panel. Fasten the
modem’s metal bracket with the screw
removed from step 2.
6. Disconnect your present phone cord from the wall jack. Plug
one end of the phone cord that came with the modem into the
wall jack, and the other end into the jack either labeled LINE or
marked with the symbol (
