Installation

You can have high speed Internet access in three easy steps:

1

Install the cable modem in your PC.

2

Load the PCI driver from the CD-ROM.

3

Activate your modem.

This is easier than most people think. Removing the cover from your PC is simple. Your
PC cover may just snap off, or you may need to remove some screws. If you find you’re
uncomfortable doing this yourself, contact your local computer store or consumer
electronics store to inquire about installation service.
