How to prime a pump?

[theufnk007]

Hi guys, this is going to be a silly qustion, but here goes - I have put my watercooled PC together and no leaks so far but I need to run the pump on it's own to work out air and to do a proper leak test, can anyone tell me how on earth I get the pump to run without the mobo?!

Thanks,
Lea

on the 24pin plug there's a green wire and a black wire use a paperclip bend it open into a u shape and push into those two holes,please do this at your own risk and make sure you turn off the psu prior to doing lol.

then switch the psu on and off a few times till the loop is filled so you pulsing it through the loop,it should stop a any major air bubbles if you get some then tilt the case over and it will travel through,let it run for a while and all bubbles will go.
