Installing the Modem
1.
Before installing your modem, write your modem's serial number
here:________________________.
2.
(You can find the serial number on the white sticker under the
bar code on the modem and on the
outside of the box.)
3.
Turn off and unplug your computer and any peripheral devices,
such as a printer.
4.
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.
5.
Unscrew and remove the solid bracket at the back of any
available expansion slot.
6.
Insert the modem board into the slot you have chosen with the
gold leads on the modem board's edge
firmly in the slot's
groove.
7.
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.
8.
Replace the computer cover and all its screws. Reattach all
cables and power cords.
9.
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.
