NOTE:
If you have the Broadcom chipset selected, and you want to
see the DSLAM serial number, scroll to the far right of the
Connection Details screen to the Identity tab.
Here you will see the Broadcom information, including the
xTU-O S/N (DSLAM or DPU serial number).
CAUTION:
The modem has an exposed heat sink on the back of the
instrument that must maintain unobstructed contact with
ambient air. If the heat sink is blocked in any way it can
become extremely hot, and modem performance can suffer. It
is recommended that the unit not be operated flat on its back
(heat sink down) in any DSL mode, for more than 15 minutes.
