Appendix A:

Removing a PC’s Internal Modem

If your PC does not already have an internal modem in-

stalled, or if you are replacing an external modem, you do

not need this section.

Note: Although you do not have to remove your internal

modem, we recommend that you do so. Removing

your old modem frees up resources for other inter-

nal devices you may want to install in the future.

Before you take out the modem, you must inform

Windows that you are going to remove it:

Follow these steps:

• Click on Start and point to Settings. Click on

Control Panel. When the Control Panel displays,

double-click on the Modems icon.

• Now click on the Remove button. Click OK to con-

firm that you are removing the modem.

Windows has now been informed of your intention to

remove the old modem.

Remove the old modem as follows:

•  Shut down and turn off the computer.
•  Remove any cables connected to the modem.
•  Open the case of the computer.
•  Remove the screw that attaches the modem

bracket to the computer.

• Pull the modem out of its slot.
• Replace the case of the computer.

You may now return to Chapter 1: Setting Up Your

USB Faxmodem on page 6 to continue with the instal-

lation.
