Be careful with the tubes so that they are not twisted and not too long to interfere with other components. If a GPU water block is installed, connect the CPU water block's exit hole with the GPU water block. www. zalman. co. kr www. zalmanusa. com 9 RESERATOR 1 5. 4 Fasten the Universal Fitting If the universal fitting is to be fastened on the PCI slot hole in the back of the case, separate the fitting cap and the fitting nut from the universal fitting. Then, insert the universal fitting into the PCI slot hole from the inside towards the outside as shown and fasten with fitting nuts. If you want to drill the holes in the side of the case for fastening, each of them should be 16 mm in diameter. The tube holes should be made at the same height as the slot holes at the back of the case. 10 www. zalman. co. kr www. zalmanusa. com RESERATOR 1 5. 5 Connect the Reserator with the Universal Fitting English Using silicone tubes, connect the IN / OUT compressing fittings, the flow indicator, and the universal fitting as shown above. The flow indicator is used to check the circulation of the coolant, so it should be placed where it is easily visible. Note) The flow indicator must be installed in the direction shown. Connecting Fitting and Silicone Tube - The Easy Way 1) Slide the Fitting Cap over the silicone tube 2) Push the silicone tube all the way inside the Fitting socket. 3) Screw on the Fitting Cap until it is completely fastened. 4) Pull the silicone tube slightly with your hands to see if it is loose. Cut about 100 mm of the silicone tube and use it around the Fitting Cap to fasten the cap easily. Be careful not to have the silicone tube fold or twist, as scratches and damage may lead to leaks. www. zalman. co. kr www. zalmanusa. com 11 RESERATOR 1 5. 6 Confirm Correct Installation 1) Check that the placement of the product confirms to section 5. 1. 2) Confirm that the coolant circulation path is correct, as shown below. Absorb Heat Reserator OUT Flow Indicator CPU Water Block GPU Water Block Integrated Water Pump Reserator Reserator IN Radiate Heat 3) Lightly tug the silicone tube connected to each of the Compression Fittings and the Universal Fitting to check for loose ends. 5. 7 Add Coolant 1) Take off the Reserator's cover. 2) Fill the Reserator to 80~90% of its height. Distilled water is recommended, but tap water can be used instead. Reserator 1's maximum capacity is 2. 5 liters. When adding the coolant, make sure that no contaminant is introduced. 12 www. zalman. co. kr www. zalmanusa. com RESERATOR 1 What is a Coolant? Coolant refers to a circulating fluid that absorbs heat from heat sources such as a CPU and a GPU, and dissipates it at the radiator. Typically recommended coolant used in a water cooling system is distilled water, but tap water can also be used. To prevent galvanic corrosion, special coolants such as antifreeze are sometimes used. [. . . ] It is recommended that the installation is done in such a manner. 6. 3 Cautions on Choosing and Installing an External Water Pump 1) When installing an external water pump, confirm the coolant entrance and exit holes before connection. 2) Check that the chosen water pump's holes are compatible with the provided silicone tube. 3) Zalman Tech is not responsible for performance degradation or malfunction of a system that arises from using an external water pump. 16 www. zalman. co. kr www. zalmanusa. com RESERATOR 1 7. In this case, repeatedly turn the water pump on and off at a 10-second interval and shake the silicone tubes to help get the air bubbles out. [. . . ]
