Hardware Installation

To install the 56K Internal PCI modem in your computer, follow these steps:

1 Turn off your computer, monitor, and other peripherals

You may also need to disconnect your power cord and other devices from the rear panel
of your computer.

2 Remove the computer cover

Electronic components are sensitive to static electricity. To
prevent damage, discharge any static electricity from your body

to loosen it. Do not use excessive force.

Your computer cover may be different that the computer cover
shown above. The screws may not be located at the back of
your computer. Some covers have screws on the side of the
