OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual mini Chapter 4 -Troubleshooting & Tips
Optional AC Adapter or FireWire 800 Power required for eSATA interface
While The OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual mini series is designed to be bus
powered via FireWire, connections using the eSATA interface do require a
power source. There are two options available to do this; either using the
included FireWire 800 power adapter cable, or using an AC power adapter.
Simply connect one of these cables to the 12V port on the back of the OWC
Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual mini.

Optional AC Adapter required for USB interface
As with eSATA, connections via the USB interface do require a power source.

CDs and even DVDs. Make schedules so you don’t need to ‘think’ about
backing up… It does it for you. Your drive is also fully compatible with
Apple’s Time Machine if you are running Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard”.
For PCs running Windows 2000 and later, we have included Novastor’s

devices and a step-by-step backup and restore wizard makes NovaBACKUP

the disc.
Cloning your hard drive (making an exact copy of it):
If you want to make an exact duplicate of a hard drive, we highly recom-
mend Mike Bombich’s donationware “Carbon Copy Cloner™”. It’s a great
tool and is included with the bundled software CD provided with this stor-
age solution.
