Safety Notices
Safety Notices Installation of inside wire may bring you close to electrical wire, conduit,
terminals and other electrical facilities. Extreme caution must be used to avoid
electrical shock from such facilities. Avoid contact with electrical current by
following these guidelines:
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Do not place telephone wiring or connections in any conduit, outlet or junction
box containing electrical wiring.
Note: Do not work on your telephone wiring at all if you wear a pacemaker.
Telephone lines carry electrical current.
• Telephone wiring must be at least 6 feet from bare power wiring or lightning
rods and associated wires, and at least 6 inches from other wire (antenna
wires, doorbell wires, wires from transformers to neon signs), steam or hot
water pipes, and heating ducts.
• Before working with existing inside wiring, check all electrical outlets for a
square telephone dial light transformer and unplug it from the electrical
outlet. Failure to unplug all telephone transformers can cause electrical shock.
• Do not place a jack where it would allow a person to use the telephone while in
a bathtub, shower, swimming pool, or similar hazardous location.
• Protectors and grounding wire placed by the service provider must not be
connected to, removed, or modified by the customer.
Do not touch telephone wiring during lightning!
Installing the
Hardware Use this procedure to install the RocketModem III.
1. Extract the appropriate driver for your operating system and if desired, print
the installation document. See
Before Installing the Hardware on Page 2, if
you need the driver and documentation.
2. Review the information discussed in Safety Notices on Page 4 and FCC Notices
on Page 8.
3. Turn your computer off and remove the system unit cover.
Note: For best results we recommend installing RocketModem III boards one
at a time, to simplify the configuration process.
4. Select an available Universal PCI slot and remove the slot cover.
5. Insert the RocketModem III in the expansion slot making sure that it is seated
securely.
Note: The RocketModem III is a full length card. Do not remove the support
bracket during installation. Deformation of the card due to bracket
removal is not covered by the warranty.
6. Re-install the expansion slot cover screw.
Note: When powered up, the RocketModem III generates significant heat.
After you install and configure the RocketModem III, make sure the
system cover is closed and the ventilation fan is unobstructed. If you
install more than one RocketModem III, you may want to add an
additional internal cooling fan.
