Warranty, maintenance, and safe installation
Sealed AIO—do not open or refill. Disconnect power and prevent fan overspin while cleaning. Inspect hose sleeves and fittings and stop operation if leakage, pump noise, display/controller faults, or abnormal temperatures occur.
- Install only with the model-specific manual and included retention hardware. Do not operate a pump dry or allow tubes to kink or rub against sharp edges.
- After installation, verify pump and fan tachometer/control operation and monitor CPU temperature under a repeatable load before normal service.
- Warranty statements are a reference, not a substitute for current regional terms; preserve the serial number and purchase record and contact the manufacturer for service.
