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 off 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 off or in a sleep or hibernation
mode, the device will power off.
• 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).
