7.2 Modem Riser
7.2.1 56K Software Modem
The Modem Riser (MR) is a high-speed PC
communication peripheral which works with
AMC’97/MC’97 compliant codecs. With this
software modem, you can connect your com-
puter to a remote location, receiving data at up
to 56 Kbps in V.90 or K56flex modes.
7.2.2 Primary/Seconday MR
There are two types of modem risers: primary
MR and secondary MR. In appearance, the pri-
mary MR has a crystal onboard but the second-
ary does not. If your motherboard has an audio
codec and no PCI audio chipset onboard, you
may use the secondary MR; otherwise, you
should use the primary MR.

2. Open the computer chassis and re-
move the metal plate on the AMR ex-

tor to a telephone wall jack. Connect
