• Connect the iCUE LINK header on the pump housing to an iCUE LINK System Hub (O) using the included iCUE LINK 600mm Cable with Straight/90° Connectors (M1).
• Insert the angled USB Type-C plug of the included USB Type-C 90° 600mm Cable (M2) to the USB Type-C port on the pump housing.

• Connect the other side of the USB Type-C 90° 600mm Cable (M2) to a USB 2.0 motherboard internal header (S) so that the red wire on the connector aligns with the power pin of the header.

The iCUE LINK XD6 RGB ELITE LCD can be used with other iCUE LINK hardware by placing it anywhere on the channel string using a direct connection, Y-Cable accessory, or 4-Way Splitter.

• Make sure the PSU is turned OFF, either at the plug socket, or via the toggle switch on the rear of the PSU (Figure 1).
• Disconnect PSU power cables from all computer components except the iCUE LINK System Hub 6-pin PCIe power connector.
• Connect the enclosed ATX 24-pin PSU Jumper Bridge starter (D) to your PSU 24-pin ATX cable. This will allow you to power on your iCUE LINK System Hub and all devices connected to the System Hub without powering on the PC (Figure 2).
  

• Move the manual pump speed override switch on the side of the Pump / Reservoir to position 1. This will allow the pump to run at full power, allowing for easier priming and bleeding of air.

• Fill the reservoir through the top left G 1/4" opening with CORSAIR coolant using the Filling Bottle (R) to about 2cm (4/5 below the top).
• Turn on the power by flipping the ON switch on the PSU. The pump motor will be primed with coolant from the reservoir and will start flowing through the system. Turn the power OFF before the reservoir is emptied. Do not let the pump run without coolant in the reservoir as this will damage the pump.
• Repeat steps 1 and 2 until your custom cooling system is full. CORSAIR recommends not filling the reservoir more than about 2cm from the top.

• Move the manual override pump speed switch back to position 2 on the pump housing once priming the loop is complete. You will not be able to control pump speed and it will run at priming speed if not set back to its original position.

• Once the system is filled with coolant, CORSAIR recommends running it for 24 hours to remove any air trapped in the components and to make sure there are no leaks in the system.
• Once you have thoroughly leak-tested the system, turn OFF the PSU (Figure 1) and disconnect the ATX 24-pin PSU Jumper Bridge (D)(Figure 2).
• Reconnect the power cables to other computer peripherals and start the computer.

• Download and install the latest version of iCUE from www.corsair.com/downloads

• Once iCUE is installed, run the software. If any of the connected devices need a firmware update, you will be prompted to perform an update via a notification in the top right corner. You can also click the settings (cog wheel icon in the top right corner) and check for the software and firmware updates manually.

Can I use the iCUE LINK XD6 RGB ELITE LCD Pump / Reservoir as a standalone part?

No, this is a water-cooling pump with an integrated reservoir which requires a complete custom water-cooling system, including cold plates (water blocks) and a radiator. For more information, please visit the Hydro X Series page.

Can I use the iCUE LINK XD6 RGB ELITE LCD Pump / Reservoir with aluminium water-cooling equipment?

Certain parts are made from copper and brass and should not be mixed with aluminium.

Can I install two iCUE LINK XD6 RGB ELITE LCD Pumps / Reservoirs?

In order to use two iCUE LINK XD6 RGB ELITE LCD Pumps / Reservoirs, each must be connected to a separate System Hub port.

Can I use a different brand of coolant with iCUE LINK XD6 RGB ELITE Pump / Reservoir?

During internal testing, some liquid coolants proved incompatible with Hydro X Series products. Check the coolant compatibility list to make sure you are using the right coolant. If a coolant is not listed, it should be considered incompatible.

HYDRO X Series Core products (CPU and GPU Blocks, Pumps/Reservoirs, and Radiators) have a 3-year warranty.
