MT9234ZPX-UPCI

MT9234ZPX-PCIE

2. Remove the cover from your system as instructed in the system manual.

3. If you are installing a MT9234ZPX-PCIE board in a low profile machine, you
will have to change the mounting bracket to the low profile mounting bracket.
Refer to your User Guide for low profile mounting bracket details.

4. Select an empty PCI expansion slot. Remove the expansion slot cover and
save the retaining screw.

5. Before handling the MultiModem, discharge static in your body by touching a
bare piece of metal on the chassis. Carefully remove the MultiModem from its
antistatic bag, handling it only by the mounting bracket and edges. Do not
touch the gold-plated connectors along the bottom edge.

6. Look at the system’s main board to determine either PCI or Express
connector. Place the MultiModem directly above the expansion slot and
gently, but firmly, push it into the connector until the card’s retaining bracket
is flush against the system chassis.

7. Fasten the retaining bracket to the system chassis with the screw saved in
step 4.

8. Replace the system cover.

Making External Connections

Now, connect the MultiModem to the telephone line and, optionally, to your
telephone. For voice mail or speakerphone, you can also connect it to a
microphone and an external speaker, headphone, or sound card. The microphone
can be used for recording answering machine messages or for speakerphone use.
The speaker or headphone can be used for playing back messages or as a
speakerphone.
