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 several methods to umount disks with OS X systems. You can 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". You can also eject the disk in the sidebar of a Finder window.
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., "Safely
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 from the computer.

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that the power cable is connected to the Mercury
Elite Pro and to a power source. If the power cable is connected to a power strip, make sure
that the power switch on the strip is turned on.
Then, simply verify that both ends of your cables are properly plugged into the computer
and the Mercury Elite Pro. If the Mercury Elite Pro is still not working properly, try connecting
to another interface (USB or FireWire) and see if the device works properly. You can also try
connecting the Mercury Elite Pro to a different computer.
