OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO INTRODUCTION

1.5 USAGE NOTES

LED - The Mercury Elite Pro has an LED mounted behind the front cover. The LED emits a

solid, white light when the unit is powered on and it ﬂashes during hard drive activity.

Large Volume Support - For the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, the operating

system needs to support large volumes (e.g. Windows Vista® or OS X 10.3.9 and above).

Cabling - Once assembled, you may plug the power supply into a power outlet and into the

Mercury Elite Pro. Then connect the USB 3.0 cable into the drive and the computer.

Dismounting - For the safe removal of the Mercury Elite Pro and to ensure no data is lost,

always unmount the drive from your operating system before powering oﬀ the device. For

more information about unmounting your drive from a Mac or PC, see Section 3.2 of this

manual.

OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO DEVICE SETUP

2.1 QUICK START

If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro as an empty enclosure, proceed to Section 2.2

below. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro with a drive installed, the OWC Drive Guide™

formatting utility has been installed. Follow these steps to use the OWC Drive Guide to

format your drives for Mac (OS X 10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later). If you do not wish

to use Drive Guide to format your Mercury Elite Pro, you can use the formatting utility of your

choice instead. See Section 3.1 of this manual for more formatting options.

1. Connect the drive to your computer using the included USB 3.0 cable, then turn on your

drive. If you prefer to use a diﬀerent formatting utility, do so at this time (skipping the rest

of these instructions).

2. Your drive will show up as a “OWC SETUP.” Open the drive to view its contents.

3. Launch the “OWC Drive Guide” application.

4. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the formatting process.

5. Once the formatting is ﬁnished, the drive is ready to use.

DEVICE SETUP

2.2 ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: The following assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the

Mercury Elite Pro as an empty enclosure. The instructions show how to open the enclosure

in order to install a drive. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro with a drive already installed,

opening the Mercury Elite Pro before the expiration of the original warranty WILL

VOID THE WARRANTY. If you wish to remove or replace a drive after the expiration of the

original warranty, you may do so at that time. For warranty information, please visit

www.owcdigital.com/terms/

1. Remove the Mercury Elite Pro from the retail box and the protective plastic bag. Locate

the two screws found on the bottom of the enclosure and, using a Phillips screwdriver,

remove the screws and set them aside for later use.

3. When removed from the outer case, the inner chassis will appear as shown below. Remove

the packet of screws and use them as directed later in the assembly instructions.

2. Once the two screws are removed, slide the inner chassis out the front of the outer case,

as shown below. Start by pushing on the back of the inner chassis, then when you are able

to grip the front grill of the inner chassis, pull it out the rest of the way.

4. To install the hard drive, carefully slide it into the black SATA connector inside the Mercury

Elite Pro, as shown below. You may need to move the red and brown LED cables to the

side, to make room for the drive. Make sure the drive is ﬁrmly seated before proceeding.

5. Using the four screws from the packet you removed from the inner chassis, fasten the

hard drive to the inner chassis. There are two screw holes on each side of the inner chassis,

circled below in red.

OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO DEVICE SETUP

6. Slide the inner chassis back into the outer case, as shown below.

7. Once the front grill of the inner chassis sits ﬂush with the edge of the outer case, turn the

Mercury Elite Pro on its side. Use the two smaller screws you removed in Step 1, and re-

fasten the outer case to the inner chassis.

This completes the assembly process.

2.3 USB EXPANSION PORT

Follow the steps below to use the USB expansion port on the Mercury Elite Pro.

1. Make sure the Mercury Elite Pro is connected directly to your computer via the included

USB 3.0 cable, as well as to the included power supply.

2. Connect an additional USB device to the USB expansion port on the back of the Mercury

Elite Pro, then power on the device as you normally would.

NOTES:

• If you connect a powered, USB-IF certiﬁed hub to the Mercury Elite Pro’s USB expansion

port, it is possible to add additional USB devices to your setup. Please check with the

hub or device manufacturer to verify compatibility and power requirements.

• You cannot operate two Mercury Elite Pro drives (which include the USB expansion

port) in the same USB device chain.

• Any drive that is designed to be bus-powered should work normally when connected

to the USB expansion port. Other bus-powered devices may work as well, depending

on their power requirements.

• Most USB keyboards, USB mice, and other USB input devices should work when

connected to the USB expansion port, however, OWC cannot guarantee the

compatibility of any speciﬁc brand or device. Please consult the device manufacturer

for compatibility information.

3.1 FORMATTING

For additional formatting options, including instructions on how to format this product for

Mac or Windows, go to: www.owcdigital.com/format

3.2 UNMOUNTING DRIVES

To properly unmount any connected drive from your computer, try the options below.

OS X:

There are several methods to unmount disks with OS X systems. You can drag the icon

for the disk you wish to unmount to the trash can, or right-click the disk icon on the desk-

top, then click “Eject.” You can also eject the disk in the sidebar of a Finder window or by

selecting the drive icon on the Desktop and pressing Command-E.

Windows:

1. Go to the System Tray (located in the lower right corner of your screen). Click on the

“Eject” icon (a small green arrow over a hardware image).

2. A message will appear, detailing the devices that the “Eject” icon controls, e.g. “Safely

remove...” Click on this prompt.

3. You will then see a message that says, “Safe to Remove Hardware.” It is now safe to

disconnect the Mercury Elite Pro from the computer.

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that the power cable is connected to the Mercury

Elite Pro and to a power source. If the power cable is connected to a power strip, make sure

that the power switch on the strip is turned on.

Then, verify that both ends of your data cable are securely plugged into the computer and

the Mercury Elite Pro. You can also connect the Mercury Elite Pro to a diﬀerent computer.

Note: If a USB device connected to the USB expansion port does not work as expected, you

can try connecting the device directly to a computer, as well.

If problems persist, see Section 3.6 for technical support options.
