SYSTEM SETUP
2.1 QUICK START
If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro Dual as an empty enclosure, proceed to Section 2.2,
Assembly. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro Dual with drives already installed, the
OWC Drive Guide formatting utility has been installed on your Mercury Elite Pro Dual. Follow
these steps to use the OWC Drive Guide to format your Mercury Elite Pro Dual for Mac OS X
(10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later).
1. Plug in your drive, then connect your drive to your computer using the proper cable. If
you prefer to use a different formatting utility, do so at this time and skip the rest of these
instructions.
2. Your drive will show up as “OWC HD”. Open your drive to view its contents.
3. Open the “Macintosh Setup” or “Windows Setup” folder, depending on the computer’s
operating system, then double-click the OWC Drive Guide application.
4. Follow the simple on-screen instructions to complete the formatting process.
5. Once the formatting is finished the drive is ready to use.
2.2 ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The following assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the Mercury
Elite Pro Dual as an empty enclosure. The instructions show how to open the Mercury Elite
Pro Dual in order to install drives. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro Dual with drives
already installed, opening the Mercury Elite Pro Dual before the expiration of the
original warranty will VOID the warranty. If you wish to remove or replace the drives
after the expiration of the original warranty, you may do so at that time.
1. Remove the Mercury Elite Pro Dual from the retail box and the protective plastic bag. Set
the Mercury Elite Pro Dual on its side and look at the bottom of the enclosure. Use a Phil-
lips screwdriver to remove the two screws, as circled below in red.
