To install your adapter:

(A) Insert the adapter into your computer

For your safety, turn off the power to your computer and all peripheral devices.

Drain static electricity from your body by touching the metal chassis (the
unpainted metal at the back of your computer).

3.

Remove the power cord from your computer.

4.

Remove the cover of the computer as described in your computer’s manual.

5.

Firmly insert the adapter into a free PCI slot, allowing the retainer to slide
between the guides. Make sure that the adapter does not touch the CPU,
memory modules, or any other parts on the motherboard.

Warning: PRI signals can have telephone network voltages (TNV).
Therefore, PRI and T1 lines should be installed and maintained by service
personnel only. It may be hazardous if your computer is not properly
plugged in and grounded.

Before you install your Diva Server adapter or remove the cover from your
computer for any reason, disconnect the cable from the ISDN network or T1
line.

Warning: The Diva Server T1/PRI and Diva Server Voice T1/PRI adapters
need up to 20 Watts of power. If you have installed several adapters in your
system, make sure that the power supply will not be overloaded when you
install your Diva Server adapter. Make also sure that your PC provides
sufficient cooling.
