Funktion

In order to better follow the water flow, all connections are connected with a line. So one connection can be used as in and another one from the compound can be an OUT.

DCOOL

At the top left of the picture the four connections are marked in red which belong to one group.

Assembly

Mounting with velcro tape

1.

Remove the protective foil of the velcro tape on one side. Do not touch the adhesive surface. The adhesive is difficult to remove.

2.

3D rendering of a rectangular electronic component with three circular holes and a flat top panel (no text or symbols visible)

Stick the Velcro tape to the Alphacool ES Distro Plate

3.

Black rectangular electronic component with three circular ports and a paper clip (no visible text or symbols)

Now remove the second protective foil.

4.

Glue the Alphacool ES Distro Plate to a free space in the case.

English Alphacool ES Distro Plate C2 / C3 / C5 Alphacool International GmbH Mounting on a fan Location

4x M3x8 2x Fan Bracket

Screw the two suitable holders to the distributor. The holder has slots, so the patch panel can be moved to fit the housing.

4x M3x8 4x M3 Nut

Now mount the patch panel with bracket to a fan location. The patch panel can also be mounted directly on a fan or radiator.

Alphacool International GmbH Alphacool ES Distro Plate C2 / C3 / C5 English Mounting on the Universal Bracket

Before doing so, close all connections that are covered. Mount the holders in a free space on the patch panel.
