1.5.2 Connectivity Notes

• Only one interface (USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt) at a time can be used.
• Thunderbolt device chains can support up to six Thunderbolt devices.
• There is no power switch on the Mercury Elite Pro Dual. As long as the power supply is
connected, the device will turn on when it receives a data signal through the interface
cable (USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt). If there is no interface cable connected, or if the
computer is off or in a sleep or hibernation mode, the device will turn off.
• For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always eject or un-
mount the drive from your operating system before unplugging the drive.
• In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, the operating system
needs to support large volumes (e.g., Windows Vista or OS X 10.4 and above).
