2.3 SafetyPrecaution
•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 while installing the card:
»Use a grounding strap, which is 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 computers chassis.
»If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface of the
computer's chassis before you begin installation, and again every minute or so
until the installation is completed.
2.4 Installation Notes
•The graphics and screen shots shown in this manual may differ from what you see
in your system, but the steps still apply.
•A Philips-type screwdriver is required for your card installation.
•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 drivers before you remove the modem. Refer to your
existing documentation for more details on this.
If your existing modem is Plug-and-Play, you may proceed to install your new
modem.
