To avoid damage, do not expose the device to temperatures outside: 41º — 107º F

(operating) or -40º — 149º F (non-operating)

Always unplug the device from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be

unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an increased risk of electrical

shock, short-circuiting or re.

Do not use the device near other electrical appliances such as televisions, radios or

speakers. Doing so may cause interference which will adversely aect the operation of the

other products.

Do not place the device near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays,

televisions or speakers. Magnetic interference can aect the operation and stability of hard

drives.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the device.

Protect your device from excessive exposure to dust during use or storage. Dust can build

up inside the device, increasing the risk of damage or malfunction.

Do not block any ventilation openings on the device. These help to keep the device cool

during operation. Blocking the ventilation openings may cause damage to the device and

cause an increased risk of short-circuiting or re.

Read this user guide carefully and follow the recommended steps for assembly.

Use proper anti-static precautions while installing your hard drives into this drive enclosure.

Failure to do so can cause damage to your drive mechanisms and/or the enclosure.

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device. To avoid any risk of electrical shock,

re, short-circuiting or dangerous emissions, never insert any metallic object into the device.

If it appears to be malfunctioning, please contact technical support.

Never expose your device to rain, or use it near water or in damp or wet conditions. Never

place objects containing liquids on the drive, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so

increases the risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting, re or personal injury.

OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini Introduction

1.4 Rear View

The Mercury Elite Pro mini comes in two port congurations:

USB 3.1 Gen 1 / eSATA

USB 3.1 Gen 1 / FireWire 800

1. USB 3.1 Gen 1 port — Attach the included USB 3.1 Gen

1 (Standard-A to Micro-B) cable here.

2. FireWire 800 ports — Attach the included FireWire 800

cable here. Use the other FireWire 800 port to daisy-chain

other FireWire 800 devices. NOTE: Any daisy-chained

device must use its own power supply. The Mercury Elite

Pro mini cannot bus-power other devices.

3. eSATA port — Attach the included eSATA cable here.

NOTE: The connector is keyed to use one specic

orientation. If the connector does not go in smoothly, do

not force it. Flip it over and re-insert it.

4. ON | OFF switch — Power the Mercury Elite Pro mini on

and o here.

5. DC IN — Connect the optional 5V power adapter here

(sold separately).

OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini Introduction

1.5 Usage Notes

• Use only one interface (USB 3.1 Gen 1, eSATA, or FireWire 800) at a time.

• The Mercury Elite Pro mini is designed to receive all needed power through the USB or FireWire cable,

therefore a separate power adapter is not necessary and not included. When using eSATA or other scenarios

that require external power, an optional 5V power adapter is available. See Section 3.4 to contact technical

support for more information.

• If the Mercury Elite Pro mini is daisy-chained to another FireWire device instead of being connected directly

to a computer, you must use the optional 5V power adapter. Attempting to bus-power the Mercury Elite

Pro mini using the FireWire port of another device is not recommended; this could cause damage to one

or both devices.

• Even if the optional 5V power adapter is not connected, the ON | OFF switch must be in the ‘ON’ position

to use the Mercury Elite Pro mini.

• If you are connected via FireWire and running OS X version 10.9 or later, you may run into issues when

attempting to sleep this drive or wake from sleep. The easiest way to avoid this issue is to use the USB or

eSATA connection instead.

• For the safe removal of your drive and to ensure that no data is lost, always eject or unmount the corresponding

disk(s) from your operating system before powering o. You can use the methods described below to safely

unmount your disk(s).

OS X :

• Drag the icon for the disk you wish to unmount to the trash can; OR

• Right-click the disk icon on the desktop, then click “Eject”; OR

• Highlight the disk on your Desktop and press 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, i.e., ‘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 Dual from the computer.

OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini DEVICE SETUP

2.1 Quick Start

Follow the steps below to use the OWC Drive Guide utility to format your Mercury Elite Pro mini for Mac (OS X 10.4

and later) or Windows (XP and later). If you installed your own drives, please use the formatting method you are

most familiar with or use our recommended formatting tips: www.owcdigital.com/format

1. Connect the Mercury Elite Pro mini to your computer using the proper cable. If you prefer to use a dierent

formatting utility, do so at this time and skip the rest of these instructions.

2. Your drive will appear as ‘OWC SETUP.’ Double-click the disk icon.

3. Double-click the OWC Drive Guide application.

4. Follow the instructions to complete the formatting process.

5. Once the formatting is nished the drive is ready to use.

2.2 Assembly

NOTE: these assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the Mercury Elite Pro mini as an empty

enclosure. The instructions show how to open the enclosure in order to install a drive. The USB 3.1 Gen 1 / eSATA

version is shown, but the steps are identical for the USB 3.1 Gen 1 / FireWire 800 version. If you purchased the

Mercury Elite Pro mini with a drive already installed, will VOID the warranty. You may replace the drive after

the expiration of the original warranty. You should start with Step 9 in that case and work backwards.

1. Use a Phillips PH2 driver to remove the two screws at

the rear of the enclosure (shown at right, highlighted

in red).

2. Tilt the Mercury Elite Pro mini to allow the back plate

to fall free, as shown below. If the back plate does not

fall free, you can push gently on the ON|OFF switch to

disengage the ports from the back plate.

3. Gently push on the inner chassis that was exposed

by removing the back plate. The inner chassis should

slide out of the outer enclosure. Once there is enough

room at the front (shown at right) you can pull on the

front of the inner chassis to remove it fully.

DEVICE SETUP

4. Once the inner chassis has been removed from the

outer enclosure, note the SATA connector, highlighted

in yellow. There are also four screw holes highlighted

in red — two through the metal on the right and two

through the green circuit board on the left.

5. Place the drive in the inner chassis as shown below.

Slide the drive into the SATA connector on the circuit

board, making sure the drive is fully seated before

proceeding.

6. Use one hand to hold the drive in place, then turn over

the inner chassis. There are four screw holes on the

bottom of the inner chassis (circled in red below).

7. Insert the four included screws into the screw holes,

then use a Phillips driver to fasten the drive to the inner

chassis (shown below). When this is done, turn the

inner chassis over.

OWC Mercury Elite Pro mini DEVICE SETUP

8. Slide the inner chassis back into the outer enclosure. Note that the inner chassis

can slide into either end of the outer enclosure, but the rails on one end of the outer

chassis are notched, as shown to the left. This allows the back plate to sit ush

when attached.

9. Attach the back plate as shown below and use a Phillips

driver to re-ax the two screws that you removed in Step

1, in the locations shown at left.

This completes the assembly process.

3.2 Troubleshooting

Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that both ends of your cable are properly plugged into the computer and

the Mercury Elite Pro mini. If the drive is still not working properly, try connecting to another interface such as

the USB connection and see if the device works properly. You can also connect the Mercury Elite Pro mini to a

dierent computer. If problems persist, please contact technical support (see Section 3.5).

3.3 About Data Backup

To ensure that your les are protected and to prevent data loss, we strongly suggest that you keep two copies

of your data: one copy on your Mercury Elite Pro mini and a second copy on either your internal drive or another

storage medium, such as an optical backup, or on another external storage unit. Any data loss or corruption while

using the Mercury Elite Pro mini is the sole responsibility of the user, and under no circumstances may OWC,

its parents, partners, aliates, ocers, employees, or agents be held liable for loss of the use of data including

compensation of any kind or recovery of the data.
