Part 3 : Installation
Overview
The installation has three elements:
•
Installing the modem card (hardware installation).
•
Installing the modem drivers. The instructions vary by operating system.
•
Installing application software, such as fax or internet dialers. This
process is not discussed in this manual.
Installing the Modem
1. Turn off and unplug your computer and any peripheral devices, such as a
printer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover. Refer to the computer manual, if
necessary, to see which rear panel screws to remove before sliding the
cover off.
3. Unscrew and remove the solid bracket at the back of any available ISA
expansion slot.
4. Insert the modem board into the slot you have chosen, with the gold leads
on the modem’s edge firmly in the slot’s groove.
5. Once the modem is in place, screw the bracket at the back of the modem
firmly to the computer’s rear panel. This ensures that the modem board is
firmly in place.
6. Replace the computer cover and all its screws. Reattach all cables and
power cords.
7. If you currently have a phone plugged into the wall jack, disconnect it.
Plug one end of the phone cable that came with the modem into the
TELCO jack at the rear of the modem. Plug the other end of the cable
into the wall jack.
8. This completes the modem hardware installation.
