Installing the

1. Turn off your system and all peripheral devices. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Touch a metal plate on your system to ground yourself and to discharge any static electricity.
3. Remove the cover from your system.
4. Find a free PCI slot in your system.
5. Remove the metal plate from the slot you have chosen. Retain the screw and put the removed
blank plate aside.
6. Align the modem card with the unused PCI slot and press the card gently but firmly into the
free slot.
Be sure that the modem card is pressed in as far as it will go and is sitting firmly inside the
PCI slot.
7. Secure the card to the slot with the screw you removed earlier, and then replace the cover of
your computer.
To use the TAD connector on
your modem card, go to the
section “Connecting to Audio
Card” on page 2-3.
