PCI cable modem or inside your computer. Before
removing the board from its antistatic bag, touch
the computer’s metal chassis to statically discharge

Remove your PCI cable modem from its antistatic bag and
insert it firmly into an available PCI slot. See the following
illustration:
PCI Slot
Be sure that the bracket is lined up properly, and then
screw the bracket into the computer using the screw you
removed with the cover plate. Be sure that the back end of
the card (smaller gold finger area) is properly seated into
the connector. If you have a tower or mini-tower computer
case with a vertical main board, you may want to lay the
computer down gently on its side so you can push straight
down on the PCI cable modem card to seat it firmly in its
slot.
