Installing the Home DSL Modem

Before you begin the installation of your Internal PCI Home DSL Modem,

Step 1 Switch off the computer and all peripheral devices connected to it.

Step 2 Unplug the computer power cord from the wall out- let.

Step 3 Remove the computer’s cover. Refer to your com- puter owner’s manual for instructions.

Step 4 On the back of the DSL card, confirm that the switch position is set to 3, 4 or to the right.

CAUTION:

Always discharge static electricity before handling your modem. You may discharge static electricity by touching a grounded metal structure or by using any commer- cially available grounding strap.

Make sure the expansion slot type is PCI, which has a smaller slot to fit the PCI modem card. If you are not familiar with computers or computer hardware or you cannot tell the difference between an ISA slot or PCI slot, obtain the help of someone who has a thorough understanding of computers. You will severely damage your computer if you install the modem in the wrong slot.

Step 5 Remove the screw securing the expansion slot cover behind one of the computer’s available PCI expansion slots. Lift the expansion slot cover out as shown on the next page.
