Prepare Your Workspace for the Cable Modem
Installation
Before installing the cable modem, you should prepare your workspace. You
can install the cable modem vertically, or attach the included four rubber feet
and install the cable modem horizontally.
To prepare your workspace:
1 Position the cable modem so that it is located near the computer and the
wall cable outlet. There should be plenty of room to guide the cables away
from the cable modem without crimping them.
2 Prepare the cable modem:
For vertical installation: Place the cable modem securely in the
included stand.
For horizontal installation: Use the four included feet to install the
cable modem.
