2.1 QUICK START

To format this drive for Mac OS X (OS 10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later), follow the
steps below. If you installed your own drive, please use the formatting method you are most
familiar with or check Section 3.1 for a link to OWC's online formatting tips.
1. If a dedicated power supply was included, plug it in then connect the Mercury Elite Pro 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 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 finished the drive is ready to use.

2.2 ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: The following assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the
Mercury Elite Pro as an empty enclosure. The instructions show how to open the Mercury
Elite Pro in order to install a drive. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro with a drive already
installed, opening the Mercury Elite Pro before the expiration of the original warranty
will VOID the warranty. If you wish to remove or replace a drive after the expiration of the
original warranty, you may do so at that time.
1. Remove the Mercury Elite Pro from the retail box and the protective plastic bag. Set
the Mercury Elite Pro on its side and look at the bottom of the enclosure. Use a Phillips
screwdriver to remove the two screws, circled below in red.
