PREPARING THE DESK
STEP 1
Carefully read the Lian Li DK-05F manual before installing water
cooling parts.
STEP 2
To install your EK components, you need to mount them when the
desk is completely disassembled. In case your desk is brand new and
still in its original package, open the box number 1 and remove the
glass tabletop. After that, remove all the screws that attach the flat
aluminum panel.
If the desk was already assembled, the legs must be removed. There
are 21 screws on each leg, securing them in place.

To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we
recommend you perform a 24-hour leak test.
When your loop is complete and filled with coolant, connect the
pump to a PSU outside of your system. Do not connect power to
any of the other components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump
run continuously.
Inspect all parts of the loop, and in case the coolant leaks, fix the issue
and repeat the testing process. To prevent possible damage, please
ensure that all hardware is dry before the system is powered on.
TESTING THE LOOP
CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP
Plug the 3-pin connector of the distribution plate D-RGB LED light to
the D-RGB header on the motherboard. The LEDs will work if the pin
layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Data, Empty, Ground.
