Installing The Modem
Always discharge static electricity before handling your modem. You
may discharge static electricity by touching a grounded metal structure
or by using any commercially available grounding strap.
Make sure the expansion slot type is 16-bit, which has two slots to fit the
ISA card. 8-bit slots have only one connector. If you use an 8-bit slot,
the modem will not have access to the higher interrupts (IRQ 9-12).
The position of the expansion slots in your computer may differ from
the illustration shown but the installation procedure should be the same.
