DANGER:
When using your telephone equipment basic safety precautions should al-
ways be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to
persons, including the following:
 Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
 Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
 Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Installing the IBM V.90 PCI Modem Hardware
System Preparation
Before you begin the installation of your V.90 PCI Data/Fax Modem, all currently
installed modems should be removed. This will help prevent hardware conflicts
between the new modem and any previously installed modems.
For Windows 95/98/NT
Before you physically remove the old modem, go to Start-Settings-Control Panel
and double-click the Modems icon. This will bring-up the Modems Properties
screen. Find your old modem listed in the General window of Modems Proper-
ties. Click once to highlight the modem and then click the Remove button. Click
OK when done. Shutdown Windows, turn off the computer, and remove the old
modem.
For DOS , Windows 3.1, OS/2 Warp, and Unix
There are no special system preparation procedures required for these operating
systems. Be sure that the power is off before removing your old modem or install-
ing the V.90 PCI Data/Fax Modem.

Caution:
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 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 a PCI slot, obtain the help of someone who has a through understand-
ing of computers to help you. You will severely damage your computer if you install the
modem in the wrong slot.
The position of the expansion slots in your computer may differ from the illustrations shown
in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, but the installation procedure should be the same. Check your computer
users manual for more detailed instructions specific to your system.
