OWC DATA DOUBLER INSTALLATION

These are static-sensitive devices and are susceptible
to invisible damage if not protected during installation.
We recommend proper grounding by using a
grounding strap. Make sure to work in a clean and
static-free area, and avoid wearing clothing that
retains static charges. For more information, please

2.1 Tools Used During Installation
• Phillips screwdriver (included in this kit)
• Nylon pry tool (included in this kit)
• Thin-blade putty knife (not included in this kit)
2.2 Disassembling the Mac mini
1. Place the Mac mini upside down, as shown in the picture to
the right. Use a soft surface such as a towel or a mouse pad
in order to protect the Mac mini from scratches.
2. Insert a thin-blade putty knife between the aluminum
housing and the white plastic inner chassis of the Mac
mini at one corner, as shown at left. If your putty knife
will not t in the gap, you can use the nylon pry tool from
the included tool kit to help widen the gap, then insert
the putty knife.
3. Pull the handle of the putty knife away from the
housing to loosen the plastic clips that hold the
housing to the inner chassis (shown at right). You
will hear cracking noises during the process;
this is normal. Move the putty knife along the
edge of the Mac mini and continue prying the
clips until you get to the corner, then remove the
putty knife and start again on the next side. Do
this on all sides except the rear of the Mac mini.
