EKWB EK-Quantum Reflection Fractal ATX D5 PWM D-RGB – Plexi Installation manual

EKQuantum Reflection Fractal ATX D5 PWM D-RGB – Plexi
DISTRIBUTION PLATE
USER GUIDE
Before you start using this produc t 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 coo lants is always reco mmended for any liquid cooling system. EKWB recommends any of the EKCryofuel for worry-free usage.

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP

D-RGB Connector
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 t he +5V line as indicated on yo ur 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.

TESTING THE LOOP

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.
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).
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.
