2.3 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 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.
