Radiator & fans placement recommendations
The radiator can be installed wherever you find suit
room for it, including: top, backside- panel, front or
the case. However, you should avoid installing it on
removable panel, such as the side-access panel. T
could cause the tubes to exert uncontrolled pressur
the water-block assembly when the panel is fasten
removed from the case.
Once you have located a suitable placement, use
the enclosed schematic (appendix A) as a
template to drill the radiator, and fan mounting
holes.
:
2/ Find a suitable placement for the
Fill&Bleed kit
To facilitate bleeding, the fill-and-bleed kit
should always be installed at the highest point
of the circuit, typically at the top of the computer
case. Here is an example:
The radiator installed to the back of this LiteOn's FS020 server
case. It sits on our custom 3/8" thick gasket for perfect sealing.
3/ Find a suitable placement for the water pump : The pump can be installed anywhere. It can be mounted
vertically or horizontally, using the heavy duty Velcro harness provided with your kit

5/ Electrical Installation
Find a suitable placement for the pump’s A/C
socket. Leave sufficient room under or above
the hole to install the pump relay switch circuit
board. A ¼” minimum clearance will be required
between the circuit board and the edge of the
hole.
Make a 1.25” (32mm) diameter hole in
the case, using a 1 ¼” Bi-Metal hole saw.
Deburr the edges of the hole with sand
paper.
Position and center the mounting plate
over the hole as a template to mark the
locations of the plate’s mounting screws.
Drill 2 holes of .125” diameter for the
mounting screws. Install the mounting
plate using the screws provided with your
kit.
Insert the A/C socket inside the mounting plate

Proceed with electrical connections as
described in the diagram to the right.
For normal operations, the L wire from the A/C
socket must be connected to the N/O (normally
opened) position of the switch. Normally Opened
means that when the computer is off, and there is
no current from the power supply going to the
switch, the relay is opened, disallowing A/C to
the pump. Conversely, as soon as you turn the
computer on, the switch becomes energized by
the power supply, and the relay closes, allowing
A/C current to pass to the pump.

Disconnecting a fitting
Ensure system is depressurised before removing fitting.
Cut the tube square. It is essential that the
outside diameter be free of score marks and
that burrs and sharp edges be removed before
inserting into fitting. For soft or thin walled
plastic tubing we recommend the use of a
tube insert.
Insert tube
Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure tube is
pushed in to the tube stop.
Push up to tube stop
Push in collet squarely against face of fitting.
With the collet held in this position, the pipe can be removed. Th
Your kit also contains a release aid tool which you can
place over the collet, and helps pushing the collet squarely
while removing the tube:
Push the tube into the fitting, to the tube stop.
The collet (gripper) has stainless steel teeth
which hold the tube firmly in position while the
'O' ring provides a permanent leak proof seal.
Pull to check secure
Pull on the tube to check it is secure. It is good
practice to test the system prior to leaving site
and/or before use.

General guidelines with regards to tube
bending:
In general, you should avoid sharp bends. A sharp
bend may result in kinking the tube, and restrict or
completely prevent the flow.
Once all the elements are in place, you can install
your motherboard inside the case and proceed, with
the water block installation.
Please refer to the separate installation guide included with your Swiftech water
block, or visit our web site at http://www.swiftnets.com

8/ Final step: filling & bleeding the circuit
We recommend using the following mix:
90% purified water + 10% RedLine water
wetter (available at auto parts stores).
In order to fill and bleed the circuit, you will need
to activate the pump. Since you do not want to
run the computer until the cooling circuit is
completely operational, you should temporarily
connect the L wire to the N\C position of the
switch. WARNING: do not forget to reconnect
to N\O once you are ready to run the
computer: if you leave the L wire connected to
N\C, the pump will shut off as soon as the
relay is energized by the power supply, and
there would be no flow in the cooling circuit,
causing your CPU to overheat.
1. Place a holding tank containing your
cooling fluid above the computer.
2. Connect the ¼” tube provided with your kit.
Tube 1 goes to valve 1 and tube 2 goes to
valve 3
3. Plunge tube 1 only into the holding tank,
making sure it is entirely submerged
4. Open valve1, close valve 2, open valve
3
5. Prime the circuit by gently sucking in air
from tube 2, just enough that you see the
liquid starting to flow down in tube 1
6. Now, you can plunge tube 2 back into the
holding tank
7. Start the pump
8. Let the pump run for 1 minute as shown in
the picture to the right. The liquid should
be flowing freely from tube 2 into the
holding tank.
9. Important step: after a minute, and
while the pump is still running:
• Take the holding tank and tubes into
one hand –making sure that the tubes
remain plunged into the liquid,
• Then lay the computer down for just a
few seconds once flat on it’s back, and
once flat on its belly. This will bleed any
air still trapped into the circuit.
7
1. Open valve 2 for a couple of seconds,
allow any air trapped into the valve to
escape. Close valve 2 again.
2. Now, close valves 3 and 1, and open
valve 2. The system is now full, bled,
and ready to use, as shown in the
picture to the right.
3. Turn off the pump by disconnecting it
from A/C.
4. With both tubes still inside valves 1
and 3, carefully place the holding
tank below the computer (on the floor
for example)
5. Disconnect the tubes from valves 1
and 3. Whatever little liquid was still
trapped in the tubes will flow back
into the holding tank without making
a mess :-)
6. FINALLY, REMEMBER to reconnect
the L wire from the socket to the N\O
position on the switch !
