Wall Mounting the Modem
Do the following before wall mounting the SBV6220:
•
Locate the device as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or
business cable TV and communications services.
•
Follow all local standards for installing a network interface device/network interface
device (NIU/NID).
•
Make sure the AC power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet and all cables are
removed from the back of the modem before starting the installation.
•
Determine if you are mounting the modem horizontally or vertically.
•
Use M3.5 x 38 mm (#6 x 1½ inches) screws with a flat underside and maximum
screw head diameter of 9.0 mm to mount the modem.
See the screw mounting dimensions below to properly mount the modem:
If possible, mount the modem to concrete, masonry, a wooden stud, or some other solid
wall material. Use anchors if necessary (for example, if you must mount the device on
drywall).
CAUTION:
Before drilling holes, check the structure for potential damage to water, gas, or electrical lines.
1.
Drill the holes to a depth of at least 1½ inches (3.8 cm).
There must be .10 inches (2.5 mm) between the wall and the underside of the
screw head.
2.
After mounting, reconnect the coaxial cable and re-plug the power cord.
3.
Properly route the cables to avoid any safety hazards.
