OWC Mercury Elite Pro Owner's Manual

To disconnect or unhook your OWC Mercury hard drive, follow these important steps
Windows Systems (all versions): If you wish to disconnect your OWC Mercury drive
without shutting down your computer, you need to stop the device with the "Unplug or
Eject Hardware" icon, located on the right side of the system tray. Your drive is now safe to
power off and unhook.
Macintosh Systems (all versions): If you wish to disconnect your OWC Mercury drive
without shutting down your computer, simply drag the OWC Mercury drive icon to the
trash can on the desktop (or, in the dock using Mac OS X). Your drive is now safe to power
off and unhook.
To install and use the included backup software for Mac or PC,
please insert the software CD and follow the included installation
and operation instructions on the CD. Also, all OWC Mercury
Storage Solutions work perfectly with Time Machine, a feature of
Mac OS 10.5 "Leopard".
Share your Mac formatted drive with your PC using MacDrive (optional purchase)
After installing MacDrive, your HFS+ Macintosh volume will mount as if the drive were
formatted in a native Windows format. MacDrive allows you to use your OWC Mercury
hard drive on either platform without having to reformat or re-initialize the volume.
We highly recommend this software for anyone that is sharing data in a cross platform
environment.
Reformatting your OWC Mercury Hard Drive
To reformat or re-initialize your OWC Mercury hard drive, visit our tech center for
directions using the OS you wish to format the drive with.

Notes for use with older Macintosh systems
If you are using an older Macintosh system, or using a PCI card to interface with the OWC
Mercury Elite Pro drive, we recommend using the included Intech Hard Disk SpeedTools
to tune the drive for optimum performance. Transfer errors or corruption can be avoided
by using this software. This is especially recommended if you are NOT using Mac OS X.
