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 difference
between an ISA slot or a PCI slot, obtain the help of someone who has a through understand-
ing of computers to help you. 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
in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2 , but the installation procedure should be the same. Check your computer
user’s manual for more detailed instructions specific to your system.
