■ If you want to install the Cable Modem on a desktop, is there enough space on either
side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause overheating.
CAUTION: Your CM9200 Cable Modem is designed to be installed vertically only. Do
not lay your CM9200 Cable Modem flat for operation. Doing so may damage internal
components.
Desktop mounting instructions
Position the Cable Modem so that:
■ it stands vertically on its base (do not lay it flat on its side.)
■ air flows freely around it
■ the back faces the nearest wall
■ it will not fall to the floor if bumped or moved
■ the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit are not blocked
Connect the Cable Modem
1. Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the other end to
the Cable Modem's Cable connector. Tighten the connections by hand, then tighten an
additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality coax cable and minimize or
eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Cable Modem.
2. Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back of the Cable
Modem and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
Note: Use only the external AC power adapter (if provided) and power cord
included with the equipment.
The Power light on the front of the Cable Modem lights up , then flashes once. See

3. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of the Cable
Modem, and the other end to the Ethernet port on a computer, Ethernet hub, or
broadband router.
Note: If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included in the
Cable Modem package.
