DEVICE SETUP

2.1 Quick Start

If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro as an empty enclosure, proceed to Section 2.2 below. If you
purchased the Mercury Elite Pro with a drive installed, the OWC Drive Guide formatting utility has been
installed. Follow these steps

2.2 Assembly

NOTE: these assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the Mercury Elite Pro as an empty
enclosure. The instructions show how to open the enclosure in order to install a drive. If you purchased the
Mercury Elite Pro with a drive already installed, opening the enclosure 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. You should start with Step 7 in that case and work backward.
4. Use the included screws to affix the drive to the inner-chassis at the locations shown (2 on each side).
