STEP 5: CONNECTING YOUR RESERVOIR
It is mandatory to use the correct INLET and OUTLET port.
As an inlet and outlet port you
have to
use exactly those ports that are shown in
the figure below. EK recommends using EK-CSQ compression fittings for best water cooling experience.
STEP 6: FILLING THE RESERVOIR
1. It is mandatory to initially fill the pump through G
1/4 port like shown on figure below, with enclosed
50ml cup of cooling liquid or any other appropriate
coolant. By doing this you flood the impeller of the
pump which enables pump to pumps liquid through
your cooling system. If this step is not done
correctly your pump will not be able to pump
liquid through your system. You will need to
repeat this step in order to complete this
installation properly.
2. Close the port with enclosed G1/4 plug.
3. Fill the reservoir fully through G3/8 threaded fill port (marked with arrow) and make sure liquid
is not spilled over your computer or any electrical devices nearby. Run your pump shortly ,
and when the water level reaches dashed line (see figure below) stop the pump. Fill
the reservoir fully through G3/8 threaded fill port and run the pump shortly. Repeat
this procedure until your system is fully filled. Lowest and highest recommendable
operating water levels are indicated on the reservoir's front panel (
MIN
,
MAX
). Once done with
the filling process please close your EK-SBAY DDC reservoir with G3/8 plug and tighten is using
enclosed Allen key. Do not use excessive force.
4. Secure the bay reservoir with M3x4 DIN 7985 screws mentioned in STEP 4.
STEP 7: 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 water block using tap water pressure. This will rupture the top of the housing and render the block unusable (and will void your warranty).While all efforts have been made to provide the
