Installing Your Cable
Modem
Note:
In some cases, your cable company will use its own instal-
lation process. If your cable company does provide you
with an installation procedure, follow it instead of the pro-
cedure described in this chapter.
Installation consists of four steps:
1.
Requesting cable modem service from your local cable
company.
2.
Installing the drivers for your PCI cable modem.
3.
Installing the hardware. (This is the physical installation of
your PCI cable modem.)
4.
Completing the installation.
These steps are discussed in detail in the following sections of
this manual.
