  • Page 8: System Setup

    To avoid data corruption it is essential to unmount all drives and power the unit off before removing or adding a new drive. If you physically eject or remove a drive from the OWC Mercury Rack Pro without powering off the unit first, any mounted drives will improperly unmount from the computer.
  • Page 9: Replacing Drives

    We recommend not turning the power off during the rebuild process, but if power is interrupted, the data will continue rebuilding as soon as the power is restored. The OWC Mercury Rack Pro does not need to be connected to a computer for the rebuild process to take place.

    To ensure that your files are protected and to prevent data loss, we strongly suggest that you keep two copies of your data: one copy on your OWC Mercury Rack Pro and a second copy on either your internal drive or another storage medium, such as an optical backup, or on a second external storage unit.
