STEP 6: 

Plug in the ATX bridging plug. Make sure nothing except the fan splitter hub is 
plugged to the power supply. You must also unplug the fan and the PWM con-
nectors from the fan splitter hub (Page 10)

STEP 7: 

Turn the power supply on and check that only the pump is running. 

STEP 8: 

It is always a good practice to conduct a 24-hour leak test to ensure the system 
is leak free and safe to use. Once the test is complete power off the power sup-
ply unit and remove the EK-ATX Bridging Plug from the main 24pin ATX cable.

Upon completing the leak test you can safely reconnect all motherboard, graph-
ics card and SATA power cables. Your computer is now ready to use.

Before you add the power to your computer please check if everything 
is installed according to the installation manual.

STEP 9: 

Starting up your computer

Turn on your computer. When turning on the computer check that the tempera-
tures of the CPU are normal. It is best practice to enter BIOS/UEFI and check 
hardware health monitoring section on initial boot!
