1.5.2 Connectivity Notes
• Only one interface (USB 3.1 Gen 1 or Thunderbolt) at a time can be used.
• To change the data connection type from Thunderbolt to USB or vice-versa,
unmount the volume in the OS, then power o the Elite Pro Dual. Next switch
the data connection, wait 10 seconds, then power on the Elite Pro Dual.
• 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 device will power on when it receives a data signal
through the interface cable (USB 3.1 Gen 1 or Thunderbolt). If there is no
interface cable connected, or if the computer is o or in a sleep or hibernation
mode, the device will power o.
• For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always
eject or unmount 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 OS X 10.4 and
above).

2.1 QUICK START
If you purchased the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual as an empty enclosure, proceed
to Section 2.2, Assembly. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro Dual with drives,
the drives ship as a RAID 0 array with the OWC Drive Guide pre-installed to assist
with the formatting process. Follow the steps below to use Drive Guide to format
your drives for Mac (OS X 10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later). IMPORTANT: if
the RAID mode is changed rst, it will destroy all data on the drives, including Drive
Guide.
1. Plug in the device, then connect it to your computer using the proper cable. If you
prefer to use a dierent formatting utility, do so at this time, skipping the remaining
instructions.
2. Your drive will show up as “OWC SETUP”. Open your drive to view its contents.
3.Double-click the OWC Drive Guide application.
4.Follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the formatting process.
5.Once the formatting is nished 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 its packaging. Set the enclosure on its
side. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws highlighted below.

2. Slide the inner chassis out the front of the
outer case, as shown at left. Start by pushing
on the back cover, then grip the front grill and
pull the chassis the rest of the way.
3. Remove the packet of screws from the inner chassis and set them aside; they will
be used in upcoming steps. Note: 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 highlighted below-left. Make sure the
drive is rmly connected to the SATA port before continuing.

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 connectors on
the hard drive (NOTE: do not twist the black SATA data cable). Next, 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 rmly before continuing.
6. Using eight of the larger screws from the packet you removed earlier, fasten the
hard drives to the inner chassis. There are four screw holes on each side.

7. The inner chassis can t into either end of the outer enclosure, but only one end
works for the assembly process. To determine the correct end, 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 side for inserting the inner
chassis, slide it back into the outer
enclosure, as shown at left.

9. Once the front grill of the inner chassis sits ush with the edge of the outer enclo-
sure, turn the Mercury Elite Pro Dual on its side again. The screw holes in the outer
enclosure should 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.
