Each drive bay has a multicolor LED indicator.
Power:
• O = Power o
• Blue = Power on (all 4 drive bays)

• Flashing Purple = Drive being accessed

• Slow Blinking red = Rebuilding RAID array
• Solid Red = Faulty drive
Power On/O and SET/MUTE button are
inside the front door on the left side.
The SET/MUTE button is used for setting
the RAID modes (covered in section 1.6
RAID Settings) and disabling the audible
alarm when there is a drive failure.
* The majority of North America uses 115V. If you are outside of North America or have adapted the
power plug in any way, confirm which voltage is appropriate for your use before powering on.
If sold as a precongured solution, your OWC Mercury Rack Pro is preset as a RAID 5,
using the “Mac OS Extended” format and is ready to use. If you want to change this
conguration, please follow the instructions in Chapter 3 to do so.
