Could someone explain how to properly fill a C5 radiator from being completely empty?

Do you just fill it through the reservoir then crank the car and keep filling till it stops taking? IM worried about running the water pump dry for that long.

I run the engine for a few minutes and monitor everything (fluid level, temp, leaks, etc) just to make sure everything looks good, add fluid as needed and put the cap back on.
No worries.
