Stacking Installation with OfficeConnect Products
If you own 3Com OfficeConnect products, you can use the
four stacking clips included in your modem’s package to
neatly and securely stack your cable modem with the
OfficeConnect unit(s). If possible, your cable modem
should always be the top unit in a stack with OfficeConnect
products. Small hubs are the only units that should be
clipped to the top of a cable modem. Follow these
instructions to clip your modem to an OfficeConnect unit.
1 Place the OfficeConnect device you want at the bottom of
the stack on a flat surface. The supplied blue clips fit in the
positions on the side of the unit as shown in step 1 of the
illustration on the next page.
2 Position a clip over one of these holes and push it in until it
clicks into place, as shown in step 2 of the illustration on
the next page. Repeat this for the other clip position on the
same side.
3 Keeping the front of the units aligned, position the
top-most OfficeConnect device and rest the bottom of the
device on the clips' spikes, as shown in step 3 of the
illustration on the next page. Push the clips firmly until they
click into place.
NOTE: To remove a clip, hold the units firmly with one hand
and hook the first finger of your other hand around the
back of the clip. Be careful not to pull so hard that you
break the clip.
4 Repeat these steps to secure the other side.
