Cabling and Startup for a Single User Allow 5 to 30 minutes to power up the first time because the SURFboard cable modem must find and lock on the appropriate channels for communications. 1 Be sure your computer is on and the cable modem is unplugged. 2 Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet or splitter. Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the CABLE connector on the cable modem. Hand-tighten the connectors to avoid damaging them. 3 Insert the SURFboard Cable Modem CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. 4 Plug the power cord into the +12VDC connector on the cable modem and the electrical outlet.
