Mount The Cable Modem On A Wall (Optional) - Cisco DPC2203C Installation And Operation Manual

Mount the Cable Modem on a Wall (Optional)

Before You Begin
Before you begin, choose an appropriate mounting place. The wall can be made of
cement, wood, or drywall. The mounting location should be free of obstructions on
all sides, and the cables should be able to easily reach the cable modem without
strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the cable modem, and any
flooring or shelving underneath, to allow access to cabling. In addition, leave
enough slack in all cables so that the cable modem can be removed for any required
maintenance without disconnecting the cables. Also, verify that you have the
following items:
Two wall anchors for #8 x 1-inch screws

Two #8 x 1-inch pan head sheet metal screws

Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit

A copy of the wall-mounting illustrations shown on the following pages

Mounting Instructions
You can mount the cable modem directly on a wall using two wall anchors, two
screws, and the mounting slots on the bottom of the modem. The modem can be
mounted vertically or horizontally.
