Before You Begin
Before you begin, we recommend you uninstall any
other modems you have in your system and unplug
all telephone lines connected to these modems.
Refer to your old modem's documentation for
instructions. If you have an older U.S. Robotics
modem, see the "Uninstalling a U.S. Robotics
Modem" chapter in the manual that came with your
older modem.
Write the new U.S. Robotics modem's serial number
in the box below. The serial number is located on the
white bar code sticker on the modem and on the
modem's box.
NOTE: It is very important that you have your serial
number written down for future reference. If you
ever need to call our Technical Support department,
you will need this number to receive assistance.

Step 1
Insert the modem into the
empty PCI expansion slot.
Turn off and unplug your computer and all
peripherals. Remove the computer's cover. (If you do
not know how to do this, refer to your
computer's documentation.)
CAUTION: To avoid risk of electrical shock, make sure
your computer and all peripheral devices are turned
off and unplugged from electrical outlets and that
any telephone cables have been removed from
existing modems and their wall jacks.
Remove the expansion slot cover at the back of an
empty PCI expansion slot. PCI slots are 3.5 inches
long and are usually white plastic lined with metal.
The slot cover is on the back of the computer and
covers an opening on the computer's case. Most slot
covers are held in place with a screw. Insert the
modem, gold edge first, into the slot. You will need to
press the modem in firmly so that it is seated
properly in its slot. When the modem is installed
correctly, you will no longer see any part of the gold
edge. The modem's metal bracket will cover the
opening on the back of the computer. Secure the
modem with the screw you removed. Replace the
computer's cover. Reconnect and turn on
all peripherals.
