D5 Series Reservoir
This product is intended for installation only by expert users. Please consult with a qualified technician for installation. Improper installation may result in damage to your equipment. EK Water Blocks assumes no liability
whatsoever, expressed or implied, for the use of these products, nor their installation. The following instructions are subject to change without notice. Please visit our web site at
installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
1.
Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!
2.
The EK HFB and EK-ACF type fittings require only a small amount of force to screw them firmly in place since the liquid seal is ensured by the rubber o-ring gaskets.
3.
The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
STEP 1: PREPARING THE PUMP
(already done by EK)
STEP 2: INSTALLING THE XRES D5
(already done by EK)
Unscrew the ribbed threaded ring that attaches the Laing pump’s
original factory top and the main pump core housing with motor.
Store the original top, the original o-ring gasket and the attaching
ring in a safe place.
1.
Install the EK-XRES Revo D5 onto the pump main motor housing.
Make sure you install EK
provided 61x3mm o-ring gasket!
Reseat the gasket if needed.
You can rotate the pump and use it in any direction except upside-down to best suit your
installation.
2.
Secure the pump on the EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 using enclosed M74 Nut.
STEP 2 (optional): ADDITIONAL DAMPER
Additional Revo D5 Damper is enclosed. If pump vibrations are higher than expected additional Revo D5 Soft dumper can be used. When replacing damper, take care that
top pyramids are faced up as shown on picture below. In case of severe tilting of the computer chassis reservoir unit may fall out of the holder. Additional dumper use is
recommended in vertical reservoir unit mount, see picture under STEP 4.
STEP 3 (optional): USING POLYETHER ANTI-VORTEX FOAM or EK-HD Tube:
EK-XRES 100 Revo D5 series pump top / reservoir comes preinstalled with Anticyclone by default. In case your system suffers from excessive vortex issues, air bleeding
problems or if the pump is sucking in air you may replace the anticyclone with the enclosed polyether foam or EK-HD Tube. There are two ways to use the polyether anti-
vortex foam:
Default configuration
PE foam – use whole
PE foam – trim to fit recess
HD Tube
This is the default configuration of
EK-XRES 100 Revo D5
series
reservoir.
Use the foam as a whole to replace
the Anticyclone.
Trim the foam to size to fit into the
desired inlet recess on the EK-XRES
Revo D5 main body.
Insert enclosed o-ring 16x2 into the
groove inside center hole and insert
enclosed EK-HD Tube 12/16.
