Swiftech H20 220 T - Manual (Page 6)

Installation Overview
The following is a typical sequence of components installation. Step 1 is always first. Steps 2 to 6 may be performed out of sequence
depending on the chassis configuration. Placement of the cooling components may also vary depending on your chassis and
motherboard configurations. A mock-up installation is thus necessary to estimate the length of the different sections of tubing that will
be required between each component.
STEP 1 Motherboard preparation, and Water-block(s)
Installation: Chapter 1
This part of the installation is by and large the most crucial and
should be done first. Please refer to your specific water-block
model in the water-block installation chapters below. It is
suggested that you complete steps 2 and 3 prior to re-installing
the motherboard/water-block assembly in the chassis.
STEP 2 Power Supply Installation: Chapter 2.1
The S320-12 auxiliary power supply supplied with your kit fits
in a 5 ¼” bay with the provided rails. Because it generates a
significant amount of heat, we recommend that it be installed in
the uppermost drive bay. To prevent it from overheating, a
blowhole in the upper panel located in the general vicinity of
the power supply exhaust vent is highly desirable. Guidelines
are also provided on how to make a blow hole.
Because this step may require case modifications, such as
drilling holes into the computer panels, please carefully clean-
up the case for metal shavings.
STEP 3 Radiator installation: Chapter 2.2
The H20-220T kit is supplied with a dual 120mm radiator. The radiator is equipped with our MCB120 “Radbox” and should be
installed externally at the back of chassis. Because this step may require case modifications, such as drilling holes into the computer
panels, please carefully clean-up the case for metal shavings
STEP 4 Reinstall the motherboard/water-block assembly into the case: Chapter 2.3
STEP 5 MCP655 Pump installation: Chapter 2.4
Preferable position of the pump is at the bottom of the chassis.
However, the pump can operate in any position. For optimum
safety, the pump can be bolted to the chassis. TIP! Do not peel-
off the protective sticker until you are satisfied with the position
of the pump, as subsequent removal is destructive to the foam
gasket. STEP 6 MCRES-MICRO reservoir installation: Chapter 2.5
This reservoir being the simplest to install, it is suggested that
you install it last.
TIP! Positioning the reservoir at the highest point of the liquid
cooling circuit is preferred but not mandatory. If one of the
components, the radiator for example, is higher than the
reservoir, you may want to fill-up the reservoir outside of the
chassis, holding it above the radiator, and once done close the
fill-cap, and secure the reservoir in the desired bay.
STEP 7 and forward refer to hydraulic and electrical connections and finishing of the installation: Chapter 2.6 to end
