2.2
Safety Precaution
•
Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to install it.
•
Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic components
on your card.
•
Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent such a
damage, you must ground yourself during the installation:
»
Use a grounding strap - a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an elastic
strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach the clip to
any non-painted metal surface of your computer chassis.
»
If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface of your
computer chassis before you begin installation, and again every minute or so
until the installation is completed.

Installation Notes
•
The graphics and screens illustrations shown in this easy start may differ from what
you see in your system, but the steps still apply.
•
A screwdriver is required (to open up your computer chassis).
•
The documentation for your computer should come in handy during the installation.
Have it ready by your side.
•
If you have an existing
non
Plug-and-Play modem installed in your computer, you
must first un-install its modem driver before you remove the card. Refer to the
documentation of your existing modem for details.
If your existing modem is Plug-and-Play, you may proceed to install your new
modem.
