2.1 QUICK START
If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro as an empty enclosure, proceed to Section 2.2
below. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro with a drive installed, the OWC Drive Guide™
formatting utility has been installed. Follow these steps to use the OWC Drive Guide to
format your drives for Mac (OS X 10.4 and later) or Windows (XP and later). If you do not wish
to use Drive Guide to format your Mercury Elite Pro, you can use the formatting utility of your
choice instead. See Section 3.1 of this manual for more formatting options.
1. Connect the drive to your computer using the included USB 3.0 cable, then turn on your
drive. If you prefer to use a different formatting utility, do so at this time (skipping the rest
of these instructions).
2. Your drive will show up as a “OWC SETUP.” Open the drive to view its contents.
3. Launch 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
NOTICE: The following assembly instructions are written for users who purchased the
Mercury Elite Pro as an empty enclosure. The instructions show how to open the enclosure
in order to install a drive. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro with a drive already installed,
opening the Mercury Elite Pro before the expiration of the original warranty WILL
VOID THE WARRANTY. If you wish to remove or replace a drive after the expiration of the
original warranty, you may do so at that time. For warranty information, please visit

1. Remove the Mercury Elite Pro from the retail box and the protective plastic bag. Locate
the two screws found on the bottom of the enclosure and, using a Phillips screwdriver,
remove the screws and set them aside for later use.
