15. Drain liquid from XMG OASIS for shipping,
transport, travel, or liquid replacement
For transportation, travel, shipping (including RMA and warranty
shipping) and for replacing all liquid inside the loop, it is required to
fully
drain all liquid
from the cooling loop by following these instructions:
1.
XMG OASIS can hold around 230
ml of liquid, including the liquid
inside the dual water tubes. Find a capture container (e.g., large
glass, mug, or bowl) that will be able to hold this amount of liquid.
2.
Clear the desk.
Remove your laptop
and other electronics or
sensitive items. Alternatively, perform this task
in the bathroom
.
3.
Remove the refill port cover on top of the XMG OASIS main unit to
help maintaining air pressure during the operation.
4.
While holding the quick release connector over your container, insert
the black plastic parts of the dual head drainage adapter into the
quick release connector. With a little force, the adapter will click and
immediately start releasing water from the tubes.
5.
Carefully raise the main unit with one hand while still aiming the
tubes into your container. Let gravity assist the process.
6.
When the liquid stops flowing, gently tilt the main unit of XMG OASIS
by 90° left, right, backward, and forward in order to release further
fluids that may still be trapped in the inner tubing and reservoir.
7.
When all fluids are
emptied, gently squeeze the lock mechanism of
the quick release connector to eject the drainage adapter.
8.
Unscrew the water tubes from the main unit of XMG OASIS and stow
them without bending them too hard. Find the hexagon water
stoppers and gently screw them onto the sockets of the main unit.
9.
Close the refill port cover and use a tissue paper or cloth to wipe off
all remaining fluids from XMG OASIS and the water tubes.
⚠
Before traveling, empty all fluids from your laptop and XMG OASIS, including
the tubes, to avoid water leakage during transportation.
⚠
Before exposing XMG OASIS to environmental temperatures below 5 °C
(41 °F), drain all liquid from the cooling loop to
prevent pipes from cracking
through frost.
⚠
Always check your laptop and XMG OASIS for fluids before and after usage
and when disconnecting parts.
