Zoom Cable Modem User’s Manual

Installing the Hardware

Remember:

 

You 

must

 install the PCI cable modem software

before

 you install the hardware. Refer to the sec-

tion on page 5.

If you have not already done so, record the modem’s C-MAC

and PCI-MAC addresses in the table on page 1. These ad-

dresses are printed on the label on the bottom of the modem

card. You may need to provide these addresses to the cable

company after the modem is installed, and the label will not be

visible then.

Shut down Windows if you have not already done so, and turn

your computer off and unplug it. Don’t plug it back in or turn

it on until you have completed the hardware installation.

Take the cover off your computer. You will probably have to

remove several screws on the back of the case. Most likely the

screws are near the outer edges.

On the back of the computer, unscrew and remove the metal

plate that is covering an available PCI slot.
The PCI slot is shorter than other slots and usually a different

color (PCI slots are usually white or gray). Your cable modem

has three sections of gold connecting fingers, and a PCI slot

has three sections that match the ones on your cable modem.

CAUTION

Electrostatic Discharge Protection

Static electricity can damage components on your

PCI cable modem or inside your computer. Before

removing the board from its antistatic bag, touch

the computer’s metal chassis to statically discharge

yourself.
