10 Quick Start and Reference Guide
If you are replacing an older modem, now is a
good time to remove it. (It may be in a non-PCI slot,
which you cannot use for your new faxmodem.)
Look for an add-in board with one or more phone
jacks on it. To remove the old modem, first unplug
any phone cords connected to it. One cord is
probably the connection to your telephone. You
can reuse this connection with your new faxmo-
dem. The other cord is probably the connection to
your telephone line at a wall jack. It is a good idea
to replace this cable with the one that came with
your new faxmodem.
CAUTION
Do not handle any internal modem card when the phone
line is plugged into it. The voltage present when the line
is ringing is potentially harmful.
6
Unscrew the screw on the bracket and lift the old
modem board from its slot.
Note: Most of the boards inside your computer
have tiny wires sticking out underneath.
These wires can be sharp. Be careful not to
cut your hands on them.
7
Make a note of the serial number on your new
faxmodem. Record the number in the table on the
last page of this manual, Important Information.
CAUTION
Electrostatic Discharge Protection
Static electricity can damage components
on your faxmodem or inside your computer.
Before removing the board from its anti-
static bag, touch the computer’s metal
chassis to statically discharge yourself.
