• 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.

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.
