Electrostatic Discharge Protection
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage modem components
or your computer. Before removing the modem
from its antistatic bag, touch the computer’s metal
chassis to statically discharge yourself.

its serial number.
5 Slide the modem card firmly into the available PCIe slot.

Be sure that the back end of the card (smaller gold finger
area) is properly seated into the connector. If you have a
tower or mini-tower computer case with a vertical main
board, lay the computer down on its side so you can push
straight down on the modem card to seat it firmly in its slot.
Be sure that the bracket is lined up properly, then screw the
bracket into the computer using the screw that you removed
earlier.
Do not handle any internal modem card when a
phone line is plugged into it. The voltage present
when the line is ringing is potentially harmful.
CAUTION

7 Connect the telephone cord by plugging one end of the tele-
phone cord into the modem jack (near the LINE marking) and
the other end into a telephone jack (typically the wall jack
where you would normally connect a telephone).
