OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro Chapter 2 - System Setup
ATTENTION: The OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro utilizes an integrated aluminum heatsink
that is exposed on the bottom of the enclosure. This heatsink will become warm to the touch
during heavy usage. Use caution when picking the enclosure up.
This guide will get you up and running quickly, demonstrating how to install your own
2.5” hard drive into the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro enclosure.
Your computer is a static-sensitive device. It is susceptible to
invisible damage if not protected during installation.
We recommend proper grounding by using a grounding
strap. Make sure to work in a clean and static-free area, and
avoid wearing clothing that retains static charges.

2 SYSTEM SETUP
OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro Chapter 2 - System Setup
2.1 Hard Drive Assembly & Installation
Remove the bridge card from the aluminum heatsink. It just slides in, no screws are
holding it in place.
①
②
Remove the bridge card and aluminum heatsink from the packaging.
Turn the bridge over and look through the screw holes. Make sure they are fully lined up
and insert 4 screws into the hard drive.
OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro Chapter 2 - System Setup
Set the aluminum heatsink aside for now.
③
Place your hard drive mechanism onto the bridge card and fully seat the drive onto the
connector.
④
⑤
OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro Chapter 2 - System Setup
Slide the bridge card with the hard drive into the aluminum heatsink - there is a notch
that the bridge card will slide into.
Do NOT insert screws into the side of the drive through the heatsink.
Gently slide the completed heatsink, drive, and bridge assembly into the acrylic enclo-
sure.
Take 4 Phillips screws from the included plastic bag and once again, don’t fully tighten
the screws, just start them, as you will need to rock the assembly back and forth a bit to
get all 4 screws started, then you can tighten them. Note that there is a rubber mounting
strip on the bottom of the heatsink, that makes it a bit dicult to get the screws all the
way in. You may nd holding the enclosure in your hand, screws down, works best.
➅
➆
Here you see the OWC Mercury On-The-Go Pro drive inserted into the acrylic enclosure,
ready to have it’s end cap attached.
Insert the acrylic endcap, fully sliding it over the bridge card ports.
Once you have the endcap on, attach it to the enclosure using the 2 included small
Phillips screws. The location is circled above. You will have 4 larger screws remaining, they
are extra.
Do not exert too much force while screwing these in, you can accidentally strip the screw
head easily.
