3.2 UNMOUNTING DRIVES

To properly unmount any connected drives from your computer, you need to follow a
few simple steps.
For OS X systems:
There are two main methods to umount disks with OS X systems. Either 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".
For Windows systems:
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., "Safe-
ly 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 mini from the computer.

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that both ends of your cables are properly
plugged into the computer and the Mercury Elite Pro mini. If the Mercury Elite Pro mini is
still not working properly, try connecting it to a different computer.
In some rare instances, the power being provided through the interface cable may not
be sufficient to power the Mercury Elite Pro mini, depending on the computer you are
using and the hard drive or SSD inside the Mercury Elite Pro mini. If you suspect this is the
case, an optional 5V power adapter is available at:
