Chapter 2 - Installation

Physically Installing your MultiModem

•Installing the MultiModem requires you to open your system. Please consult your system manual in addition to the following instructions.

•Turn off your system and unplug it. Failure to do so may result in damage to both the MultiModem and your system. Do not turn on the system until the instructions tell you to do so.

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

Before handling the MultiModem ZPX, discharge any static in your body by touching a piece of grounded metal such as the computer chassis. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of stored static electricity that can damage electrical circuitry or components. Static electricity is often stored in your body, and discharged when you come in contact with an object of a different potential.

•Perform the procedure below described in this section only at an ESD workstation using an antistatic wrist strap. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal ground screw (lug).

•If you are installing a MT9234ZPX-PCIe board in a low profile machine, you will need to change the mounting bracket to the low profile mounting bracket.

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

•Before handling the MultiModem, discharge static in your body by touching a piece of bare 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.

•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.

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

•Replace the system cover.
