1.6 Inserting the modem
The internal modem can fit into any available slot in your personal computer. To insert the
internal modem in your personal computer:
1. Position yourself so that you can easily access the computer's expansion slots.
2. Select any available half-card slot into which you can install the internal modem.
3. Remove any slot cover that may be over the slot. Then remove the slot cover and
keep both in a safe place (you will need the screw to secure the internal modem and
you may need the slot cover if you decide to remove the internal modem in the future).
4. Hold the internal modem above the slot you selected, making sure the modem's edge
connectors are pointing down toward the base of the personal computer (see Figure
1-3).
5. Carefully slide the modem into the slot, applying even pressure to both ends of the
modem. Stop inserting the modem when its gold-plated edge connectors are aligned
with and completely fit into the base of the computer.
6. If you removed a screw from the slot cover, use that screw to secure the modem in the
slot. You may want to test the modem's telephone connection (described in the next
section) before securing your modem.
7. Use the cover-mounting screws to secure the computer cover.
