4 Plug the included power cube into a power strip or wall outlet
and then into the modem’s POWER jack. The modem
performs an automated power-up process and registers with
the cable system. When the process is complete, all the front
panel lights will stay on steady. (The table on page 15 lists the
lights and their modes.)
Note:
It may take several minutes for the modem to register with the
cable system. If the modem’s front panel ON LINE, US, and
DS lights do not stay on steady after a reasonable amount of
time, go to Troubleshooting Tips on page 15.

5 Turn on your computer. You may see a Found New
Hardware box indicating the progression of the installation. If
you are prompted to restart your computer, please do so. You
will be prompted to register your product with Zoom; if you
prefer to register later, you can do so from your Windows
desktop: Click the Start button, point to Programs, then
point to Zoom Cable Modem, select Product Registration,
and follow the prompts.

6 At this point, the equipment at your cable company will
communicate with your modem and computer to finalize the
installation. You should follow any directions that your cable
provider has given to you. In some cases, everything will
happen automatically. In other cases, your cable company may
instruct you to phone back with your cable modem’s MAC
address (see page 3) after you complete the hardware
installation. The cable company may also request billing
information.
Congratulations! You have installed the hardware. Continue with
the next section Completing the Installation.
