INTRODUCTION

These are static-sensitive devices and are susceptible to invisible damage if not protected during

installation. We recommend proper grounding by using a grounding strap. Make sure to work in a clean

and static-free area, and avoid wearing clothing that retains static charges. For more information,

please visit: www.owc.com/support/anti-static/

Installation

2.1 Disassembling the Mac mini

Due to the number and variety of screws involved in this process, we commend you use a device to

organize and keep track of the screws, such as an ice cube tray. This will help you to put the screws back in

the correct locations.

INSTALLATION

1. Place the Mac mini upside down, as shown. Use a soft surface such as a towel

or a mouse pad in order to protect the Mac mini from scratches.

2. Rotate the bottom cover counterclockwise to the unlocked position, as shown in the

picture to the left. There is a white dot on the bottom cover. When the bottom cover

is unlocked, this white dot will line up with the corresponding dot on the aluminum

housing. When the bottom cover is unlocked, press on one side of the cover to cause

the opposite side to pop up, then remove it.

3. Remove the two memory modules. The instructions for removing the memory modules

are printed directly to the right of the memory inside the Mac mini, as circled in the

picture to the left.

4. Remove the three Torx T6 screws that secure the fan, as circled in the picture

to the left. The two top screws are shorter; the screw on the lower right is a longer

stando screw.

Installation

5. Disconnect the fan cable from the logic board, as circled in the picture to the left.

The connector lifts straight up; you can use the plastic pry tool to assist.

7. To remove the cowling, lift it up slightly to allow it to move clear of other

hardware, then pull it out to the right, rotating the cowling slightly clockwise,

as shown in the picture to the right. When removing the cowling, be

careful not to catch it on any other hardware.

6. Remove the short T6 screw at the bottom of the black plastic cowling, as circled in the

picture to the left.

8. Use a Torx T8 screwdriver to remove the ve screws circled in the picture

to the right. The screw at the bottom and the two outside screws at the

top are 2mm hex screws, but the Torx T8 screwdriver will t. Be careful not

to exert too much force on the hex screws. The two inside screws at the

top are standard T8.

Installation

9. Lift up carefully on the antenna plate and move it slightly

up and to the right in order to reveal the antenna cable attached

to the wireless card, as shown in the picture to the right.

10. Disconnect the antenna cable, circled in the picture to the left.

Be careful, as the connection is fragile and can break. Gently lift the cable

connector directly up. The nylon pry tool or a pair of tweezers may help.

11. Disconnect the hard drive ex

cable and the optical drive ex cable,

as shown in the pictures to the right.

Use the nylon pry tool to lift the cable

connectors free from the logic board.

12. Remove the T6 screw

at the bottom left of the logic board,

circled in the picture to the right.

13. Insert the logic board removal

tool into the two holes

at the bottom of the logic board,

as shown in the pictures to the

right. Make sure the tool is securely

seated in the holes.

Installation

14. Gently push down on the

logic board removal tool and pull

it back until the black plastic

I/O wall pulls away from the

aluminum housing slightly, as

shown in the pictures to the right.

➥

➦

15. Use the nylon pry tool to

disconnect the four cables circled

in the picture to the right. Lift the

cable connectors straight up; do

not pull on the wires.

16. Disconnect the power supply

cable, circled in the picture to the

right. Wiggle out the connector

with either your ngers or the nylon

pry tool. A pair of tweezers may

also help.

17. Now that all the cables are disconnected, slide the logic board

assembly the rest of the way out of the housing, as shown in the

picture to the left. Be careful to keep the logic board assembly

level and avoid catching any of the components on the housing.

Be particularly careful when the memory bracket comes out.

If the bracket is not level, the bracket clip could catch on the EMI

gasket at the top of the housing.

18. To remove the power supply,

rst remove the T6 screw

circled in the picture to the right.

Installation

OWC Data Doubler

19. Find the metal retention clip holding the power cord socket in place, as circled in

the picture to the left. Slide the retention clip to the left in order to release the power

cord socket.

20. Rotate the power cord

socket counterclockwise

90° to disengage it from

the housing, as shown

in the picture to the right.

21. Remove the power supply by

pulling it straight out of the

housing, as shown in the picture

to the left. You may need to

rotate the power supply slightly

to the left.

22. Slide the hard drive out

of the housing, as shown

in the picture to the right.

23. Remove the T6 screw securing the optical

drive carrier to the housing, as circled in the

picture to the far left.

24. Remove the optical drive assembly, including

the optical drive and the drive carrier, in

the direction indicated by the arrow at left.

Installation

➦

25. Peel back the tape securing the optical drive ex cable to the optical

drive, as shown in the picture to the right. Be careful, as you will be using

this tape again during the installation of the Data Doubler.6.

26. Disconnect the optical drive ex cable from the optical drive, as circled in the picture

to the left. Do not attempt to remove the cable from the assembly. One end of the

cable is trapped between the optical drive and the carrier. Simply slide the cable up

and out of the way as you go about the process of removing the optical drive.

27. Remove the four T8 screws

from the optical drive, as circled

in the pictures to the right.

These screws are held in place

by rubber grommets, so they

will remain seated in the carrier

once they are removed from

the optical drive.

28. Remove the optical drive from the

optical drive carrier. At this point,

the optical drive ex cable can also

be removed.

Disassembly is now complete. Proceed to Section 2.2 for instructions on installing a drive in the

Data Doubler and installing the Data Doubler in the Mac mini.

Installation

2.3 Installing the Data Doubler

1. Remove the Data Doubler from the box and plastic bag. Note

that there is a clear plastic shield on the bottom of the Data Doubler.

DO NOT remove this plastic shield. It is a part of the Data Doubler.

2. Install the 2.5-inch SATA drive into the Data Doubler. Start by sliding the SATA

connector on the drive into the black SATA connector attached to the green circuit

board on the Data Doubler, as shown at left.

3. Insert the two included Phillips screws into the drive through

the screw holes in the Data Doubler, as shown at right.

4. Insert the Data Doubler into the optical drive carrier, as shown in the picture to the

left. Note: While the older drive shown in this and subsequent steps is not the same

as those shown in Steps 1-3, the process is the same.

5. Connect the optical drive ex cable to the Data Doubler,

as shown in the picture to the right. There should be enough

space between the optical drive carrier and the drive in

the data doubler to t the optical drive ex cable between

the two. If you need more space, simply lift up on the

optical drive carrier to make room for the cable.
