SMC8014WN and SMC8014WN2 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway Administrator Manual
Appendix A - Wall Mounting the SMC8014WN
The SMC8014WN Gateway can be wall mounted if desired (the SMC8014WN2 cannot be
wall mounted). To wall mount the SMC8014WN Gateway, perform the following procedure.
1. Locate the devices as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or
business cable TV and communication services.
2. Follow all local standards for installing a network-interface unit/network interface device
(NIU/NID).
3. Be sure the AC power plug is disconnected from all outlets and that all cables are removed
from the back of the Gateway before starting the installation.
4. Decide whether you want to mount the Gateway horizontally or vertically.
5. Use M.35 x 38mm screws with a flat underside and maximum screw head diameter of 9.0
mm to mount the Gateway. See the screw-mounting dimension in the following figures to
mount the Gateway properly. If possible, mount the Gateway on concrete, masonry, a
wooden stud, or other solid wall materials. Use anchors if necessary.
