business cable TV and communications services.
• Follow all local standards for installing a network interface unit/network interface
device (NIU/NID).
• Disconnect the AC power plug is from the wall outlet and verify that all cables are
removed from the back of the modem before starting the installation.
• Decide if you are mounting the modem horizontally or vertically.
• Gather the following items:

Applicable screwdriver: Phillips or flathead
Two M3.5 (#6) screws with a flat underside and maximum screw head diameter
of 9.0 mm to mount the gateway.
Note: Contact a qualified installer to determine the appropriate screw length
needed for mounting the gateway.
See the dimensioned view below for the spacing needed between the screw
head and wall:
