What the ES Distro Plate does

Alphacool says the plate ensures organization in the system and, in combination with quick-release fasteners, facilitates the exchange of components. It offers extensive mounting options, and Alphacool calls it the ideal foundation for any enterprise system that is to be equipped with water cooling.

Mounting options

The plate can be mounted in many ways. The easiest and fastest variant is the mounting via the enclosed self-adhesive Velcro: one side is glued directly to the plate, the other side to any place in the case. Afterwards, the plate is simply placed on the Velcro. The manual warns that the adhesive is difficult to remove, so the position can hardly be corrected once the plate is stuck down. The scope of delivery also includes feet and mounting frame. With the appropriate mounting bracket, held by the four M3x4 screws, the plate goes on any 120 or 140 mm fan space with the M3x8 screws and M3 nuts. It can also be mounted directly on a fan or radiator, or flexibly placed in the server case with the stand feet. Screw in every plug a stand bracket will cover before the bracket goes on. Various threaded holes on the sides and back offer further direct mounting options, including adapted holes for special mounting rails in Alphacool's server racks.

What the loop needs

Every connection in use takes a fitting with a G1/4 external thread, and every unused one must be closed with one of the screw plugs. Using Alphacool's ES quick connectors with external threads, components such as CPU and GPU coolers or radiators can be connected to the plate and thus easily integrated into the water circuit. Those connectors are among our quick disconnect fittings. Alphacool calls unused ports perfect for use as fill and drain ports.
