3. R E - INSTALLING THE MOTHERBOARD
Now that the APOGEE water-block is securely fastened to the motherboard, go-ahead and install the motherboard into the chassis, following the
instructions provided in your motherboard installation guide.
4. P UMP INSTALLATION
‰ General Use
The MCP350™ pump is a magnetically driven centrifugal
pump featuring a 12 V DC brushless motor. It requires no
maintenance when used with de-mineralized water and the
appropriate anti-fungal additives. The pump connects directly
to your computer power supply using the standard Molex 4
pin connectors. The pump also features a second wire
equipped with a 3-pin connector designed to connect to a
motherboard fan header, and to report the impeller rotational
speed (RPM sensor).
‰ Physical installation
• Determine the best location for your pump by observing
how the tubing will be routed to the rest of the circuit.
Sharp bends in the tubing should always be avoided to
prevent kinks, which will reduce or completely prevent
flow of the cooling fluid.
•
In general, we recommend installation of the pump at the
bottom of the chassis, however the MCP350 can be
installed in any desired position but one: It is preferable
NOT to install the pump vertically with the inlet and outlet
facing down, as this might leave a bubble in the pump
cavity which could be difficult to bleed. Any other
position is fine.
• The base of the pump features a soft neoprene pad
coated with strong adhesive material. Once an
appropriate location for the pump has been determined,
simply peel-off the pad’s protective paper, and press the
pump against the chassis surface. The surface should
be clean, and non greasy. Screws & grommets are also
provided for permanent installation, and require drilling
holes in the chassis (see permanent installation below).
‰ Pump operating precautions:
The MCP350™ pump should never be run dry, even for a
quick test
. You should always prime the pump with fluid
before you start operating it. Running the pump dry does void
your warranty. With filled lines, turn the inlet/outlets
upward to ensure there is no air bubble in the impeller.
Use of coloring die or fluorescent additives containing
particulate fillers will cause excessive wear to the pump’s
impeller bearing, and void your warranty.

‰ Permanent installation to the chassis, and exploded view
Drill two 0.312” (8mm) holes into panel, 2.52” (64mm) apart. Snap grommet into each hole. Tighten the provided screws until the pump neoprene pad is
slightly and evenly compressed by approximately 1/8” (2~3mm) or less.
