STEP 4: INSTALLING THE MOUNTING PLATE
STEP 5: FINISHING THE INSTALLATION
Screw in the four (4) rubber vibration dampers into the threaded holes
on the bottom side of the reservoir. Do not use any tools to fasten the
dampers in to position, use thumbs only.
Then use enclosed M4x4 DIN 7984 screws to install the metal plate on
the reservoir using enclosed Allen key 2.5 mm.
Secure the metal plate through the openings to the computer chassis
using enclosed M4x6 ISO 7380 screws, washers and M4 nuts. User may
need to drill 4 (four)
∅4
mm holes through chassis metal using electric
power drill if there are no appropriate mounting holes available.
The EK-XRES DCP 4.0 offers three inlet (suction) G1/4 ports. In order to use the
selected port as inlet it is mandatory to use the enclosed EK-Extender G1/4 with the
G/4 threaded fitting. Use enclosed G1/4 Plugs to plug the remaining two unused ports.
In order to make air bleeding process easier one can install the enclosed PU mesh in
the inlet compartment of the XRES.
STEP 6: CONNECTING YOUR RESERVOIR
Connect two G1/4 threaded fittings to the reservoir (IN/suction) and pump (OUT/pressure). Please note the water flow orientation. EKWB recommends
using EK-CSQ fittings and EK-CSQ Adapters with the EK-XRES DCP 4.0 series reservoirs. To ensure that the tubes are securely attached to the barb/fittings,
please use hose clamps or an appropriate substitute.
STEP 7: FILLING THE RESERVOIR
Unscrew the top cap and fill the coolant in the reservoir. Make sure the liquid is not spilled over your computer or any electrical devices nearby. Run your pump
shortly for couple of times to make sure water floods your tubes and other water cooling components. Repeat the procedure until you are done and pay attention
to the water level in your reservoir. Lowest level of the coolant should be at least 1 cm above the plastic (Acetal) base of the reservoir. The highest
recommendable water level is approximately 0.5 cm below the top of the acrylic tube. Once done with the filling process please close your
EK-XRES DCP 4.0
by
reinstalling the end cap, twisting it clock-wise.
STEP 8: OTHER INSTRUCTIONS
VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Once the installation is completed, it is a recommended practice to test the cooling circuit for leaks prior to powering up the
computer. We recommend a 24 hour leak test prior to powering up the computer. Do not test the product using tap water pressure. This will rupture the top of
the housing and render the product unusable (and will void your warranty). While all efforts have been made to provide the most comprehensive tutorial
possible, EK Water Blocks assumes no liability expressed or implied for any consequential damage(s) occurring to your equipment as a result of using EK Water
Blocks cooling products, either due to errors or omissions on our part in the above instructions, or due to failure or defect in the EK Water Blocks cooling
products.
