Installing the Modem
System Preparation
Before you begin the installation of your 56K Internal PCI Call Waiting Modem, all
currently installed modems should be removed. This will help prevent hardware con-
flicts between the new modem and any previously installed modems.
For Windows 95/98/NT
Before you physically remove the old modem, remove it from the list in the Modem
Properties Control Panel.On the taskbar, click
Start. On the Start menu, click Set-
tings then click Control Panel and double-click the Modems icon. This will bring-
up the Modems Properties screen. Find your old modem listed in the General win-
dow of Modems Properties . Click once to highlight the modem and then click the
Remove button. Click OK when done. Shutdown Windows, turn off the computer,
and remove the old modem.
For DOS, Windows 3.1, OS/2 Warp, UnixWare, and Linux
There are no special system preparation procedures required for these operating sys-
tems. Be sure that the power is off before removing your old modem or installing the
56K PCI Internal Call Waiting Modem.
Caution:
Always discharge static electricity before handling your modem. You may discharge static
electricity by touching a grounded metal structure or by using any commercially available
grounding strap.
Make sure the expansion slot type is PCI, which has a smaller slot to fit the PCI modem card.
If you are not familiar with computers or computer hardware or you cannot tell the differ-
ence between an ISA slot or PCI slot, obtain the help of someone who has a thorough under-
standing of computers. You will severely damage your computer if you install the modem in
the wrong slot.
The position of the expansion slots in your computer may differ from the illustrations shown.
