And so, many owners of ADSL modems have encountered a problem when the modem has nowhere to put it, or it overheats, or is simply distracting with its flickering. I suggest putting it in the system unit case; of course, you can secure it to the table, but in this case it will be difficult to look at the indicators if something happens. In the system unit, the modem is cooled by fans, there is no need to run wires far, and we also completely eliminate the power supply.
Let's start by first taking a look at the modem connectors. I have a D-link modem DSL model - 2500u
Let's go from bottom to top, gray is the telephone line, yellow is the LAN cable (connection with the PC), and black is the power connection.
Next, you need to find a place in the body of the unit, a place under the drive or like mine above would be perfect, carefully remove the plugs, they are held on by plastic latches, this is what should happen. Don't pay attention to the holes, these are the consequences of unsuccessful modding...
In order not to pull unnecessary wires, we exclude the power supply; it will perfectly replace the computer's power supply.Before replacing, you need to look at the modem's power supply so as not to make a mistake with the voltage and not burn the modem. On my power supply 5 V and current 1 A it is written like this: Output: 5V 1.0A DC if everything is like this, then feel free to open the case of the system unit and look inside for such connectors
This connector connects to hard drives, floppy drives, etc. but on almost any power supply you can find free ones. And so we need the red and black one that next to it there is just a voltage of 5 V and a current of 1 A can be produced by even the simplest power supply.
Cut the wire from the modem power supply
And connect it to the computer. The wire with the stripes is +, the other is -, respectively red +, black -
We isolate and everything is ready. All you have to do is run the rest of the wires through the back and you're done.
The local network wire immediately returns to the system unit and as a result, only one telephone line wire comes from it.
This is what happened, everything is neat and accessible for review.
For those wishing to repeat, good luck.
P.S. The author does not bear any responsibility for careless hands and broken equipment. And when you remove the cover of the system unit, you automatically lose the warranty.
