OWC Mercury Rack Pro Chapter 2 - System Setup

2.1 Drive Installation

NOTE: If you purchased a precongured solution with drives included, each drive has a

dierent colored dot on it. Use these 4 dierent colored dots to match the drive to the

appropriate drive bay.

To install your own drive mechanisms:

➀ Open the front door on the

OWC Mercury Rack Pro.

➁ Install the drive as shown to

the left, with the SATA connector

facing away from you.

➂ Slide the drive all the way into

the drive bay. It will t ush with

the aluminum frame.

➃ Repeat the previous steps for

each drive you are installing.

NOTE: Be careful to not damage any components, and do not force the drives into

place. If they don’t slide in easily, make sure there are no obstructions.

IMPORTANT - ADDING DRIVES TO AN EXISTING RAID SET:

It is not possible to add more drives to an existing RAID array or change the RAID

conguration without reformatting. To add additional drives at a later point, with the

OWC Mercury Rack Pro turned OFF, adjust the switches on the back of the unit to the

Clear RAID setting (down-down-down). Power the OWC Mercury Rack Pro ON while

holding down the SET button right next to it. This will clear the existing RAID settings

out. Once the unit has beeped and the drive access lights stop ashing, you can

release the buttons and press the power button again to turn the enclosure o. You are

now able to change the switches to whichever RAID setting you wish to use.

IMPORTANT - ADDING DRIVES TO AN INDEPENDENT (CLEAR RAID) SET:

You can remove any drive from a Clear RAID set and replace it with another drive by

powering the OWC Mercury Rack Pro o, and replacing the drive. NOTE: To avoid

corruption it is essential to eject (unmount) all drives and power the unit o.
