13. Operating the device with drainage
adapter attached is NOT recommended!
It might occur to some users to leave the drainage adapter permanently
plugged into the laptop and to always connect the quick release of the
water tubes directly with the drainage adapter for extra convenience.
However,
this configuration is risky and NOT recommended.
The drainage adapter is designed in such a way that it is able to keep
the quick release connector of the water tubes
permanently open
. This
allows the adapter to fulfil one of its functions, namely of draining all
liquid from the main unit of XMG OASIS.
However, this function also
harbors a danger: if you connect
the drainage adapter to the
laptop and then connect the
tubes to the adapter as well, the
adapter forms a bridge within
the cooling circuit. However,
this bridge is not very stable. If
you accidentally pull on the
tubes or the laptop (possibly by accident, but also by children or pets),
the two transparent little tubes of the drainage adapter will be pulled out
of the laptop, while the two plastic tips of the adapter will remain stuck
in the much tighter dual head quick release connector.
Such an opening of the cooling loop would have the disastrous
consequence of all leaking all liquid out of the main unit - and in close
proximity to your laptop!
The risk of liquid damage is high!
Therefore,
this configuration should be avoided at all costs.
⚠
Do not use the drain adapter as a link between the laptop and the XMG
OASIS. Remove it as soon as it has fulfilled its primary function, which is to
drain fluid from either the laptop or the tubes. Do not install any other
accessories between the tubes, the quick-release connector and your
laptop.
With the quick release unlocked, the adapter might break away
from the laptop, causing any unstoppable leak from the tubes.
