4 DOCSIS 1.0 Cable Modem User Guide Rev. 3.0
Chapter 3 Hardware Installation
This chapter describes the proper steps for connecting your new Cable Modem. Please be sure to follow the steps in the sequence outlined below.
Failure to do so could result in improper operation or failure of your Cable Modem.
Step 1:
Connect a DOCSIS 1.0 cable feed to the F-connector on the back of the cable modem as illustrated in Figure 1. Ensure that the center conductor
of the 75 ohm coaxial cable is inserted directly into the center of the F-connector. Secure the coaxial cable by carefully threading the outer shell
of the coaxial cable connector onto the F-connector in a clockwise direction until tight. Be careful not to over-tighten the connector or you may
damage either the connector or the cable modem.
NOTE :
To speed up the initial cable modem registration process, the coaxial cable should be connected to the modem prior to the power connector.
