EK-Quantum Reflection Fractal ATX D5 PWM D-RGB - Plexi User manual

USER GUIDE
DISTRIBUTION PLATE
EKQuantum
Reflection Fractal ATX D5 PWM D-RGB – Plexi

Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
Please carefully read the manual before beginning with the
installation process!
The EK 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.
The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended
for any liquid cooling system. EKWB recommends any of the
EKCryofuel for worry-free usage.

Plug the 3-pin connector of the distribution plate D-RGB LED light to
the D-RGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin
layout on the header is as follows: +5V, Digital, Empty, Ground.
Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is
plugged into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard.
If you put LED Diode to the 12V RGB HEADER you can
damage the LEDs.
Connector is the same on D-RGB and RGB versions,
but D-RGB version has 3 cables from connector to PCB;
RGB version has 4 cables. If you connect D-RGB led to
ordinary RGB header you can damage your motherboard
or LED strip.

CONNECTING THE PUMP
The EK-D5 PWM pump has two connectors.
1. 4-pin Molex: It must be connected directly to your PSU at all
times as it is used to power the pump.
2. 4-pin PWM fan: It can be connected to your motherboard’s
CPU_ Fan or designated water pump header. It can also be
connected to a controller. This cable is used to control and report
the rotational speed of the pump. If it’s not connected, the pump
will run at maximum speed (100% PWM).

To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we
recommend you perform a leak test for 24 hours.
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. It is normal for the coolant level to drop during this
process as air collects in the distribution plate.
Inspect all parts of the loop, and in the eventuality that coolant leaks,
fix the issue and repeat the testing process. Ensure that all hardware is
dry before the system is powered on in order to prevent any damage.
