How Do I Mount the DPH650 on the Wall?
How Do I Mount the DPH650 on the Wall?
BeforeYou Begin
Before you begin, choose an appropriate mounting place. The wall can be made of
cement, wood, or drywall. The mounting location should be free of obstructions on
all sides, and the cables should be able to easily reach the DPH650 without strain.
Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the DPH650, and any flooring or
shelving underneath, to allow access to cabling. In addition, leave enough slack in all
cables so that the cable modem can be removed for any required maintenance
without disconnecting the cables. Also, verify that you have the following items:
Two wall anchors for #8 x 1-inch screws
Two #8 x 1-inch pan head sheet metal screws
Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit
A copy of the wall-mounting illustrations shown on the following pages
MountingInstructions
You can mount the DPH650 directly on a wall using two wall anchors, two screws,
and the mounting slots on the bottom of the modem. The modem can be mounted
vertically or horizontally. Mount the modem as shown in the following illustration.

How Do I Mount the DPH650 on the Wall?
LocationandDimensionsofthe Wall-MountingSlots
The following illustration shows the location and dimensions of the wall-mounting
slots on the bottom of the DPH650. Use the information on this page as a guide for
mounting the DPH650 to the wall.
Wall MountingInstructions
Complete these steps to mount the DPH650 to the wall.
1Locate the place where you want to mount the DPH650 to the wall.
2Hold the DPH650 level against the wall and at an angle so that the screw hole
mounting guides are facing up and against the wall.
3Lay a pencil, pen, or other marking tool into each guide and mark the place on
the wall where you want to drill the mounting holes.
4Using a drill with a 3/16-in bit, drill two holes at the same height and 4 inches
apart.

18 4027494 Rev A
How Do I Mount the DPH650 on the Wall?
5Are you mounting the DPH650 into a drywall or concrete surface where a
wooden stud is not available?
If yes, drive the anchor bolts into the wall and then go to step 6.
If no, go to step 6.
6Install the mounting screws into the wall or the anchor bolts, as appropriate, and
leave a gap of about 1/4-in. between the screw head and the wall.
7Verify that no cables or wires are connected to the DPH650.
8Lift the DPH650 into position. Slip the large end of both mounting slots (located
on the back of the DPH650) over the mounting screws, and then slide the modem
down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot contacts the shaft of the screw.
Important: Verify that the mounting screws securely support the DPH650 before
you release the unit.
9Connect the cables and wires to the DPH650.
