3.1.
3.1. Installation of a D5 pump motor
3.1.3.1.
Skip this section if a pump is already installed into the reservoir.
If you have a complete D5 pump instead of a D5 pump motor, you will have to
disassemble the pump first. The only parts needed are the housing with electronic
components and the impeller.
Install the pump motor as follows:
Installation of a D5 pump motor
Installation of a D5 pump motorInstallation of a D5 pump motor
1. Place the gasket into the ULTITUBE base part.
2. Place the ULTITUBE base part on top of the D5 pump motor.
3. D5 NEXT only: Remove the controller unit from the pump
4. Slide the mounting ring onto the rear side of the pump motor and fasten the
ring by screwing it onto the ULTITUBE base part.
5. D5 NEXT only: Re-attach the controller unit to the pump.
3.2.
3.2. Installation into a PC case
3.2.3.2.
Mounting material for upright standing installation (for example to the bottom of
the case) or lateral installation (for example to a side panel of the case) is included
in delivery. A standing installation should be preferred for stability reasons.
If the reservoir is used in combination with a D5 NEXT pump, the reservoir can be
installed standing directly on the pump. Additional stabilization is recommended, a
suitable mounting bracket is available (product code 34111, included in reservoir
variants 34100, 34109 and 34110 only).
For additional, vibration dampening fixation in the upper area of the glass tube, a
rubber fixation ring is available. The rubber ring can be slipped over the top of the
reservoir onto the glass tube (product code 34114, included in ULTITUBE D5 PRO
only).
Furthermore, mounting brackets for installation to standard 120 mm or 140 mm
fan mounting positions are available as accessories (product codes 34112 and
34113, not included in delivery.

3.3.
3.3. RGBpx LED ring
3.3.3.3.
For effective illumination of the reservoir, a RGBpx LED ring is available (product
code 34115, included in ULTITUBE D5 PRO only).
The LED ring consists of a transparent silicone ring and a black rubber LED holder.
For installation, slide the silicone ring over the top of the reservoir to your preferred position on the glass tube. Insert the rubber LED holder into the silicone
ring.
Connect the LED ring (connector marked with the word “IN”) to a compatible
RGBpx output of an Aqua Computer device. A suitable cable is included in delivery. If required, additional RGBpx components can be connected (daisy chained)
to the adjacent connector (connector marked with the word “OUT”).
3.4.
3.4. Disassembly and reassembly of the reservoir lid for filling
3.4.3.4.
To remove the lid, hold the glass tube and turn the lid counter-clockwise. Take
care not to lose the gasket. For reassembly, place the gasket onto the glass tube
and screw the lid onto the reservoir. Do not use any tools and use only moderate
force.

3.5. Integration into the cooling loop
3.5.3.5.
Connect the return line to the reservoir connector engraved with the word “IN”
and connect the other line to the remaining connector. Use light force only when
screwing in fittings in order not to damage the threads in the plastic base part!

4. D5 NEXT
4.4.
This chapter applies to variants with D5 NEXT pump only (product numbers 34100,
34109, 34110).
4.1.
4.1. Detachable control unit, mounting options
4.1.4.1.
The controller unit of the pump can be removed by pulling it off the pump motor
unit in a straight line. Make sure that no power is supplied to the pump whenever
the controller unit is being removed from or re-attached to the pump motor unit!
The controller unit can only be attached to the pump motor unit in a given orientation. Do not use excessive force but re-check the orientation if you encounter
problems re-attaching the controller unit.
The orientation of the display can only be adjusted by rotating the entire pump. In
order to rotate the pump, the mounting ring attaching the pump to the reservoir
needs to be unscrewed, which can result in coolant leakage! Completely drain the
coolant before loosening the mounting ring and remove the controller unit from
the pump! After rotating the pump, re-fasten the mounting ring by hand.

In case the reservoir is installed without using the mounting plate of the pump, the
mounting plate and silicone damper of the pump can be replaced with a flat silicone insert.
Please note that all mounting options that make use of the silicone damper require
the pump to be installed vertically above the damper and additionally the reservoir
to be firmly secured to the PC case! The silicone damper of the pump is not designed to withstand lateral stress or transportation of the PC!

4.2. Electrical connections
4.2.4.2.
ATTENTION: Completely turn off your power supply or disconnect the mains power cord from the wall outlet before connecting or disconnecting any cables to/from
the device!
4.3.
4.3. Power Connector
4.3.4.3.
Connect a SATA power plug of your PC's power supply unit to this connector. Do
not use excessive force but double check the polarity of the plug if you are having
trouble to connect.
