when the Mercury Elite Pro Dual is on. During

drive activity the LED will blink blue steadily, and

during a rebuild the LED will pulse blue slowly.

HDD1/HDD2 — These LEDs represent the two

hard disk drives (HDDs) inside the Mercury Elite

Pro Dual. During normal activity, these LEDs will

remain oﬀ. If one of the hard drives inside the

Mercury Elite Pro Dual fails, or if one of the drives

is removed without the RAID mode being reset,

the corresponding LED will blink red.

1.5.2 Connectivity Notes

•Only one interface (USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt) at a time can be used.

•Thunderbolt device chains can support up to six Thunderbolt devices.

•There is no power switch on the Mercury Elite Pro Dual. As long as the power supply is

connected, the Mercury Elite Pro Dual will turn on when it receives a data signal through

the interface cable (USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt). If there is no interface cable connected, or

if the computer is oﬀ or in a sleep or hibernation mode, the Mercury Elite Pro Dual will

turn oﬀ.

•For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always eject or un-

mount the drive from your operating system before unplugging the drive.

•In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, the operating system

needs to support large volumes (e.g., Windows Vista or Mac OS X 10.4 and above).

OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO DUAL SYSTEM SETUP

SYSTEM SETUP

2.1 QUICK START

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

Assembly. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro Dual with drives already installed, the

OWC Drive Guide formatting utility has been installed on your Mercury Elite Pro Dual. Follow

these steps to use the OWC Drive Guide to format your Mercury Elite Pro Dual for Mac OS X

(10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later).

1. Plug in your drive, then connect your drive to your computer using the proper cable. If

you prefer to use a diﬀerent formatting utility, do so at this time and skip the rest of these

instructions.

2. Your drive will show up as “OWC HD”. Open your drive to view its contents.

3. Open the “Macintosh Setup” or “Windows Setup” folder, depending on the computer’s

operating system, then double-click 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.

2.2 ASSEMBLY

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

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

Pro Dual in order to install drives. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro Dual with drives

already installed, opening the Mercury Elite Pro Dual before the expiration of the

original warranty will VOID the warranty. If you wish to remove or replace the drives

after the expiration of the original warranty, you may do so at that time.

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

the Mercury Elite Pro Dual on its side and look at the bottom of the enclosure. Use a Phil-

lips screwdriver to remove the two screws, as circled below in red.

OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO DUAL SYSTEM SETUP

2. Once the two screws have been removed,

slide the inner chassis out of the front of the

outer enclosure, as shown to the right. Start

by pushing on the rear of the inner chassis,

then when you are able to get a grip on the

front grill of the inner chassis, pull it the rest

of the way.

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

Remove the packet of screws and use the screws as directed later in the assembly

instructions. Note that the plastic shield over the circuit board is there by design and

should not be removed.

4. Install the lower hard drive (HDD2), as shown below. Slide the SATA connector on the hard

drive into the black SATA connector circled in red. Make sure the drive is ﬁrmly seated in

the black SATA connector before proceeding.

5. Install the upper hard drive (HDD1), as shown below. Insert the SATA power and SATA data

cables from the Mercury Elite Pro Dual into the SATA connector on the hard drive, then

slide the hard drive to line up the screw holes in the hard drive with those on the inner

chassis. Make sure the SATA connectors are seated ﬁrmly before continuing.

6. Using eight of the larger screws from the packet you removed from the inner chassis,

fasten the hard drives into the inner chassis. There are four screw holes on each side of the

inner chassis, as circled below in red.

7. Note that while the inner chassis can slide into both sides of the outer enclosure, there is

only one correct way that will allow the screw holes to line up correctly. To determine the

correct orientation of the outer enclosure with the inner chassis, turn the outer enclosure

on its side and look at the bottom. As shown below, the screw holes at the front of the

outer enclosure are close to the silicone feet. The screw holes at the rear of the outer

enclosure are farther away from the silicone feet.

8. Once you have determined the correct

orientation, slide the inner chassis back

into the outer enclosure, as shown to

the left.

9. Once the front grill of the inner chassis sits ﬂush with the edge of the outer enclosure,

turn the Mercury Elite Pro Dual on its side again to look at the screw holes on the bottom.

You should be able to see that the screw holes in the outer enclosure line up with the

screw holes in the inner chassis. Use the four smaller screws to fasten the inner chassis to

the outer enclosure, as shown below. The assembly of the Mercury Elite Pro Dual is now

complete.
