Installation Instructions
Prepare for installation.
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure your computer and all
peripheral devices are turned off and unplugged. Disconnect all telephone cables from
any existing modems before opening the computer’s cover. Touch an unpainted metal
area of your computer’s case to ground yourself, which protects your equipment from
electrostatic discharge.
NOTE:
U.S. Robotics recommends uninstalling any other modems that are installed in
your system and unplugging all telephone cords connected to these modems. Refer to
your previous modem's documentation for instructions.
Write your new U.S. Robotics modem's serial number in the box below. The serial number is
located on the white bar code sticker on the modem and on the modem's box. If you ever need to

Step 1: Physically install the modem in your computer.
Turn off your computer and all peripheral
devices. Unplug your computer and remove
the computer’s cover. Remove the expansion
slot cover at the back of an empty PCI
expansion slot. PCI slots are usually white in
color. The slot cover is on the back of your
computer and covers an opening on your
computer’s case. The slot cover could be
held in place with a screw or a clip.
Insert the modem into the PCI slot. You may
need to rock the modem back and forth while
pressing down firmly to properly seat the
modem in the PCI slot.
The modem’s metal bracket will cover the opening on the back of the computer. If applicable,
secure the modem with the screw or clip you removed. Replace the computer’s cover.
Step 2: Connect the modem to an analog phone line.
Plug one end of the provided phone cord into the jack on the modem labeled . Plug the other
end into an analog phone wall jack. When you are not using your modem, you can use a
telephone by plugging the telephone’s cord into the modem’s jack.
