PWM D-RGB Distribution Plate
Please note the installation of the product is intended to be undertaken by an
adequately trained and experienced person. You are installing the product at
your own risk. If you are not properly trained or experienced or feel unsure
about the installation procedure, please refrain from installing the product
yourself and contact our tech support for assistance. We disclaim our
liability for any damages to the product as well as incidental, consequential,
or indirect damages incurred due to improper or inappropriate installation.
Before you start using this product 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 quality market-proven corrosion-inhibiting coolants is always
strongly recommended for any liquid cooling system.
Do not use pure distilled water as a cooling liquid! For best results, EK
recommends the use of EK-CryoFuel Coolants.

PREPARING THE CASE
Before installing the distribution plate, carefully read the PC case manual.
STEP 1
First, open the side panel and the inner frame of the PC Case.
(shown in the photo).
STEP 2
Using Phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the factory-provided UNC screws and
remove the Radiator bracket from the PC case.
Save the screws and radiator bracket for later use.
For this step you will need:
PREPARING AND INSTALLING THE DISTRIBUTION PLATE
STEP 1
Carefully place the EK-Quantum Reflection² 7000D D5 PWM D-RGB onto the saved
Radiator bracket.
Secure the distribution plate using Allen Key 2.5 mm and M4 x 5 DIN7984
Screws. Do not use excessive force.
For this step you will need:
STEP 2
Secure the Radiator bracket with the pre-installed distribution plate into the
PC Case using five (5) saved factory-provided UNC screws.
For this step you will need:
RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION PLATE CONFIGURATIONS
To complete your loop, all ports must be used as marked in the image.
All remaining unused ports must be closed with supplied plugs, using the EK-
Loop Multi Allen Key.
If one of the prescribed components will not be installed (ie. bottom radiator
or GPU block) then one INLET and one OUTLET port must still be joined together
in order for this distribution plate to function!
Only one INLET and one OUTLET port for the GPU connection can be used, while
all other INLET and OUTLET GPU ports must be closed with G1/4 plugs.

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP
CONNECTING THE PUMP
The EK-D5 PWM pump has two connectors.
- SATA Connector: It must be connected directly to your PSU at all times as it is used to power the pump.
- 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).
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.
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.
