Important Note Before Proceeding - OWC Mercury Elite RAID Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT!!
Please read before proceeding with installation
1. Before installing, make sure that you have reviewed the previous
page and that all necessary cables and parts are present.
2. Please be sure to use the heavy duty power cord that is provided. The
unit is able to be used with 100-240V, 60Hz power and is autoswitching.
3. Any disassembly of the enclosure or modification will void your
warranty. If you are experiencing problems, please contact our technical
support department before opening the enclosure.
4. Hardware Requirements:
• For the best performance, connect the enclosure using the included
1394b cables (FireWire 800). See note below about gaining even more
performance than a single FireWire 800 connection can provide.
• You can also use a USB 2.0 connection (but not at the same time) if you
do not have a FireWire port on your computer.
If you are looking to maximize the performance of this enclosure, it
has the ability to utilize 2 discrete FireWire 800 connections. You can
connect 2 drives to one FireWire 800 interface, for example, the built-in
FireWire 800 connection on your computer, and the other 2 drives to a
PCI/PCI Express FireWire 800 card, doubling the bandwidth available.
5. OS Requirements:
• Mac:
Compatible with all Apple OS Versions 8.5 through 9.2.x; Apple OS X
10.0.3 and higher (including OS X 'Leopard' 10.5.x).
• Windows:
Compatible with Microsoft Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP; Any OS or
device with standard FireWire or USB support.
