We recommend proper grounding by using
a grounding strap. Make sure to work in a
clean and static-free area, and avoid wearing

OWC Mercury Elite Pro Chapter 2 - System Setup
2.1 Hard Drive Assembly & Installation
On the bottom of the OWC Mercury Elite Pro enclosure you will nd 2 Phillips
screws. Remove those two screws and the drive compartment will slide out
towards the front of the enclosure. Remove the outer shell to proceed with drive
installation.
Here you see the OWC Mercury Elite Pro internal drive tray compartment. There
will be a package of 4 screws inside of the compartment taped down, please
remove them to use in step 4.
Insert your SATA 3.5” hard drive in the bay, and fully seat the drive connector
onto the bridge board. The bridge board is the green circuit board pictured to
the left in this photograph. You will see there is a connector built onto the bridge
board that will interface with the drive, providing power and signal connections -
no cables to connect!

2 SYSTEM SETUP
Place your drive mechanism into the chassis and onto the bridge card, and press
the drive towards the ports to rmly ax the drive into the SATA connector. You
may need to wiggle the drive from side to side to t it in between the rubber
grommets that the drive is secured with. Be sure to not tear them when inserting
the drive into the chassis.
➃
➙
Insert (but not fully tighten) 2 of the included Phillips screws into the drive
mechanism through the rubber grommets on the side of the enclosure. Repeat
on the other side of the enclosure - there are 4 screws total. Once you have
inserted all 4 screws into the drive you can fully tighten them.

2.1 Hard Drive Assembly & Installation (continued)
2 SYSTEM SETUP
Since hard drives have been introduced with capacities greater than 2.2TB, the
industry has worked to resolve known capacity addressing limitations that date
back to the original design of the PC.
These limitations are caused by 32-bit denitions used for partition sizes and
logical block addresses (LBAs) resulting in a maximum addressable capacity size
of 2.199TB.
The most direct way to resolve this issue is to use Long LBAs. However, Long
LBAs are only supported in 64-bit operating systems, like Mac OS X, Windows 7
and Windows Vista. Users of older operating systems wishing to use these high-
capacity drives will need to limit the drive size to under 2.2TB to be able to use
the storage solution.
To limit the OWC Mercury Elite Pro’s maximum drive capacity to 2.2TB, ip the
dip switch (circled below) to the 1 position. The default position is ON meaning
volumes larger than 2.2TB are able to be created.
IMPORTANT - IF YOUR DRIVE IS LARGER THAN 2TB

Screw holes on bottom
Once you have completed installation of your drive, turn the chassis so that the
ports are on your left as shown in the above picture. You can see the 2 screw
holes that the drive enclosure outer shell screws into circled. Slide the outer shell
onto the inner chassis from the rear and insert the 2 Phillips screws you removed
to start the assembly process. The enclosure is now fully assembled.
2.2 Computer Connections
The OWC Mercury Elite Pro requires external power to operate. Insert the power
adapter into a wall outlet and plug it in to the back of the OWC Mercury Elite Pro.
To use the OWC Mercury Elite Pro, connect any interface cable to the drive and
the computer. Then, turn the power switch to the ON position, and verify the blue
LED on the front of the drive is illuminated.
Your drive should mount on your computer’s desktop, or a dialog box will appear
if you have a new, unformatted drive installed.
