Chapter 2 Before You Begin 2.2 Safety Precaution • Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to install it. • Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic components on your card. • Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent such a damage, you must ground yourself during the installation: » Use a grounding strap - a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach the clip to any non-painted metal surface of your computer chassis. » If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface of your computer chassis before you begin installation, and again every minute or so until the installation is completed. 2.3 Installation Notes • Computers vary in configuration, appearance and layout. Therefore, the installation procedures in this manual apply generally and you should compare the illustrations here with your computer. • A Philips screwdriver is required. • The documentation for your computer should come in handy during the installation. Have it ready with you. • If you have an existing non Plug-and-Play modem installed in your computer, you must first un-install its modem drivers before you remove the card. Refer to the documentation of your existing modem for details. If your existing modem is Plug-and-Play, you may proceed to install your new modem. 9
