2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
2.1. Handling the Combo Card
WARNING: Static electricity can damage your equipment. Do not take the card out of
its static protective bag until you are ready to work with it.
Follow these precautions when handling the board:
Before you open the static protective bag, touch it to a metal expansion slot cover on the
back of your computer. This drains static electricity from the package and from your
body.
Do not touch any exposed printed circuitry after opening the package.
Keep other people from touching the board. They might have a static-electricity build-up.
Limit your movement. Movement causes a build-up of static electricity.
2.2. Installing the Combo Card
Step 1. Turn off the system and all peripheral devices.
Step 2. Disconnect the power cord and all peripheral devices from the system.
Step 3. Remove the system cover and identify an unused PCI slot.
Step 4. Unscrew the slot cover plate, plug in the Combo Card, and tighten it with
the screw.
Step 5. Plug the telephone cable of the PHONE Jack J1 into the Jack on the back
of your telephone.

Step 6. Plug the telephone line of the LINE Jack J1 into the Wall Jack on the
back of your telephone.
Step 7. Plug your microphone cable directly into the MICROPHONE IN Jack J2
of your Combo card.
Step 8. Plug your CD-In cable directly into the internal CD-In Connector J3 of
your Combo card.
Step 9. Plug your LINE-In cable into the external Phone Jack J4 of your Combo
card.
Step 10. Plug the cable of your Speaker system into J5 of your Combo card.
Step 11. Plug the SPDIF cable into the internal SPDIF connector JP1 of your
Combo card.
Step 12. Put back the system cover, reconnect the system power cord and all
peripheral devices. Check and make sure all connections are correct
before you turn on the system.
3. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
3.1. Software Contents
There is one Installation CD-title that comes with this package. This CD includes the
device driver and application software that you may use under your Microsoftâ
Windowsâ95 operating system.
3.2. Before Installing the Combo Card for the First Time
Unimodem/V Installation
For proper TAPI function, UNIMODEM/V must be installed on the system prior to the
modem installation. It is not necessary to check the existence of Unimodem/V in your
system before you plug in the modem card because the provided driver will auto-
install the subsystem.
Note: UNIMODEM/V is the new UNIMODEM subsystem provided by Microsoft
for Windowsâ95. These binaries are not included with the Windowsâ95
release and may change without prior notice.
