installation of this product please read important notice, disclosure and warranty conditions printed on the back of the box.
Before you start using this product please follow these basic guidelines:
1. Please carefully read the manual before through before beginning with the installation process!
2. The EK High Flow and EK-PSC type 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.
3. The use of corrosion inhibiting coolants is always recommended for any liquid cooling system.
STEP 1: PREPARING THE PUMP
Unscrew the ribbed threaded ring that attaches the Laing pump's
original factory top and the main pump core housing with motor.
Store the original top, the original o-ring gasket and the attaching
ring in a safe place.
Twist LEFT to unscrew!
STEP 3 (optional): USING POLYETHER ANTI-VORTEX FOAM:
EK-XRES D5 series pump top / reservoir comes preinstalled with Anticyclone by default. In case your system suffers from excessive vortex issues, air bleeding problems or if
the pump is sucking in air you may replace the anticyclone with the enclosed polyether foam. There are two ways to use the polyether anti-vortex foam:

series
D5 reservoir.
STEP 4: MOUNT THE EK-XRES D5 RESERVOIR INTO THE COMPUTER CHASSIS
By default the EK-XRES D5 ships with EK-UNI Holder D5 V2. This holder is
meant to be installed directly on the computer chassis. User may need to
drill 2 (two) Φ4mm holes through chassis metal using electric power drill if
there are no appropriate mounting holes available. EK recommends users to
find an appropriate position in your computer chassis to install the EK-XRES
D5 pump assembly.
To sucessfully install the EK-XRES D5 pump/reservoir assembly to the EK-
UNI Holder V2 please complete the following steps:
1. Find an appropriate position for the unit inside (or perhaps outside)
of your computer chassis; drill mounting holes if needed.
2. Attach the EK-UNI Holder D5 V2 to the computer chassis metal
frame using enclosed M4x6 ISO7380 screws, metal washers and a
nut. Secure the screws using enclosed Allen key 2.5mm.
3. Screw in the four M4 threaded rubber dampers in to base of EK-
XRES D5 pump/reservoir combo unit.
4. Attach the EK-XRES D5 reservoir to the EK-UNI Holder D5 V2 using
four (4) M4x6 DIN7380 screws with plastic washers underneath
each screw. Secure the screws using enclosed Allen key 2.5mm.
Your installation is now complete.

4 are completed prior to completing step 2.
