Mount The Cable Modem On A Wall (Optional) - Cisco DPC2434 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 wireless home gateway
without strain. Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the wireless home
gateway, 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 wireless home gateway 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.
