RESERATOR 1 Cautions & Warnings When Installing 1.Make sure that the power source’s output voltage and frequency are compatible with the power input requirements of the water pump before installing. (Input voltage and frequency of the water pump can be located on the box and sink cover.) 2.Do not place in dusty or humid conditions, under direct sunlight, or near a heat source such as a room heater. 3. Do not drop or subject to excessive force. 4. Check CPU socket compatibility first. 5.

RESERATOR 1 1.1 Reserator (Reservoir + Radiator + Water Pump) Reserator is a compound word derived from ‘Reservoir’ and ‘Radiator’- it acts as a reservoir while radiating heat. This product works well with natural convection and integrates a water pump inside for convenience. 1.2 CPU Water Block(ZM-WB2 Gold) The system includes Zalman’s new CPU cooling component, ZM-WB2 Gold, which performs superbly and installs easily. 1.

RESERATOR 1 Options GPU Water Block Water block for cooling the GPU on a graphics card. This product is sold separately and available in two versions for compatibility with ATI Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce GPUs. ● ZM-WB2 Gold Dual CPU users can buy an additional unit of ZM-WB2 Gold for installation on the second CPU. ● Silicone Tube If the included silicone tube is found to be short or you need to use the tube on another system, additional tubes can be bought separately (base length is 3 m, 12 x 8 mm).
RESERATOR 1 5. Installation 5.1 Determine the Placement of the Reserator 1 The reserator’s placement should be determined with regard to the connected PC. Place it upright next to or slightly above the PC. Note that if the Reserator is placed lower than the PC, the silicone tube’s internal air pressure may prevent proper initial operation. (O) (O) (X) (X) (X) 5.2 Install the CPU Water Block (ZM-WB2 Gold) 1) Refer to the manual included with ZM-WB2 Gold on how to install.
RESERATOR 1 5.3 Connect the CPU Water Block with the Universal Fitting Slot Hole Fitting Cap Universal Fitting Use the silicone tubes to connect the CPU water block with the universal fitting. 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.
RESERATOR 1 5.4 Fasten the Universal Fitting Universal Fitting Fitting Nut Fitting Cap 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. ф16 Hole 10 www.zalman.co.
RESERATOR 1 5.5 Connect the Reserator with the Universal Fitting IN Compression Fitting English Universal Fitting Fitting Cap OUT Compression Fitting Flow Indicator IN Compression Fitting OUT Compression Fitting 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.
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.
RESERATOR 1 What is a Coolant? English 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. (Zalman’s ZM-WB2 Gold is gold-plated, so galvanic corrosion does not occur.) 5.
RESERATOR 1 6. Installing the External Water Pump If the integrated water pump is broken or you need a water pump of higher capacity, you can install an external water pump as shown below. 6.1 Separate the Integrated Water Pump 1) Separate the sink base - take off the sink base from the product as shown.
RESERATOR 1 Water Pump Compression Fitting English Sealing Bolt A 5) Take out the power cable - pull the water pump power cable out through the cable hole. 6)Remove the cable fitting - take the cable fitting out of the hole as shown by using a screwdriver or an awl. 7)Remove the integrated water pump pull the water pump off the sink base as shown.

It is recommended that the installation is done in such a manner. 6.
RESERATOR 1 7. Separate the Reserator and Water Block 7.1 Moving the Reserator or Changing the Coolant Computer Case Clamp English When moving this product to another location, or replacing the coolant or the water block, separate the Reserator and the water block from the silicone tubes as shown below. 1) Turn off the PC’s power. Clamp 2) Using the tube clamps, as shown in the diagram, insert the tubes in INSIDE to both sides of the Universal Fitting.
RESERATOR 1 5) Move the Reserator or change the coolant inside. 7.2 Replacing the CPU Water Block Hand Screw 1) Turn off the PC’s power. 2) Separate the CPU water block from the mainboard. Retention Clip CPU Water Block (ZM-WB2 Gold) Clip Support Retention Guide 18 www.zalman.co.kr www.zalmanusa.
RESERATOR 1 English 3) To let the residual coolant flow back to the Reserator, place the CPU water block higher than the coolant level of the Reserator. 4) Fasten the Clamp on the entrance and the exit tubes of the CPU water block. 5) Unscrew the Fitting Caps from the CPU water block. Residual coolant inside the tube and the water block may flow out, so clean up using a paper towel or a piece of cloth. 6) Replace the CPU water block.
RESERATOR 1 8. FAQ 8.1 When the Coolant isn’t Circulating (1) Check that the water pump is connected to the power. (2) Verify that the pump is properly functioning. Remove the Reserator’s sink cover and look inside to see if there is movement in the coolant. If there is none, contact the distributor where you purchased the product. (3) Make sure that the Reserator is installed correctly. It must be placed at the same level as the PC, or slightly higher.
