Preparing for Installation
This chapter describes the equipment and site requirements for installing the Cisco uBR904
cable modem. The chapter contains the following sections:
• Safety Recommendations
• Site Requirements
• Tools for Installation
• Configuration Information
• Cisco uBR904 Cable Modem Installation Checklist
• Site Log
Before installing the Cisco uBR904 cable modem, you should consider the power and
cabling requirements that must be in place at the installation site, the equipment you will
need to install the Cisco uBR904 cable modem, and the environmental conditions the
installation site must meet to maintain normal operation. This chapter guides you through
the process of preparing for the Cisco uBR904 cable modem installation.
Note The Cisco uBR7246 universal broadband router installed at the cable headend must
be properly configured to successfully install the Cisco uBR904 cable modem. Additional
configuration information is downloaded from the Cisco uBR7246 to the Cisco uBR904
cable modem.
We highly recommend that a cable headend technician be available, or on-call, to assist you
with troubleshooting Cisco uBR904 cable modem installations; especially during the early
field installations. Contact your cable service provider for more information.
