USB 3.0

USB 3.0 / Firewire 800

USB 3.0 / eSATA

1.4.1 Rear Features

1. USB 3.0 port — Attach the included USB 3.0 (Standard-A to Micro-B) cable here.

2. FireWire 800 ports — Attach the included FireWire 800 cable here. Use the other

FireWire 800 port to daisy-chain other FireWire 800 devices. NOTE: Any device daisy-

chained device must use its own power supply. The Mercury Elite Pro mini cannot

bus-power other devices.

3. eSATA port — Attach the included eSATA cable here. NOTE: The connector is keyed

to use one speciﬁc orientation. If the connector does not go in smoothly, do not force

it. Flip it over and re-insert it in the port.

5. Power input — Connect the optional 5V power adapter here (sold separately).

OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO MINI INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT:

• The Mercury Elite Pro mini is designed to receive all needed power

through the USB or FireWire cable, therefore a separate power adapter is

not necessary and not included. For the few situations in which external

power may be necessary, an optional 5V power adapter is available at:

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/owc/motgpwr/

• If the Mercury Elite Pro mini is daisy-chained to another FireWire device

instead of being connected directly to a computer, you must use the

optional 5V power adapter. Attempting to bus-power the Mercury Elite

Pro mini using the FireWire port of another device could cause damage

to one or both devices and should not be attempted.

• Even when the optional v5V power adapter is not connected, the on/

oﬀ switch must be in the “on” position to use the Mercury Elite Pro mini.

• Only one interface (USB, FireWire, or eSATA) at a time can be used.

• For the safe removal of your drive and to assure that no data is lost, always

eject or unmount the drive from your OS before powering oﬀ.

OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO MINI DEVICE SETUP

DEVICE SETUP

2.1 QUICK START

If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro mini as an empty enclosure, proceed to Section

2.2 - Assembly. If you purchased the device with drives already installed, the OWC Drive

Guide formatting utility has been installed on your Mercury Elite Pro mini. Follow the

steps below to use the OWC Drive Guide to format your device 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 SETUP”. Open your drive to view its contents.

3. 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

The Mercury Elite Pro mini comes in three conﬁgurations, as shown in Section 1.4: either

a single USB 3.0 port, one USB 3.0 port and two FireWire 800 ports, or one USB 3.0 port

and one eSATA port. The pictures in the following assembly instructions show the model

with a single USB 3.0 port, but the process is exactly the same for all three models.

NOTICE ! If your Mercury Elite Pro mini was purchased with a drive already installed,

opening the case will void your warranty. Once the warranty period expires, if you

would like to open the case at that time, you may do so.

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws at the rear of the enclosure (circled

below in red).

OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO MINI DEVICE SETUP

2. Tilt the Mercury Elite Pro mini up at the front to allow the back plate to fall free, as

shown below. If the back plate does not immediately fall free, you can push gently on

the on/oﬀ switch to disengage the ports from the back plate and allow it to come oﬀ.

3. Gently push on the inner chassis that was

exposed by removing the back plate. The

inner chassis should slide out of the outer

enclosure. Once there is enough room at the

front, as shown to the left, you can pull on the

front of the inner chassis to remove it fully.

4. Once the inner chassis has been removed

from the outer enclosure (shown below), note

the SATA connector at left. There are also four

screw holes: two through the metal on the

right and two through the green circuit board

on the left.

5. Place your drive in the inner chassis as shown below. Press the drive toward the rear

of the inner chassis to make sure that the drive is fully seated in the SATA connector.

6. Use one hand to hold the drive down, then turn over the inner chassis. There are four

screw holes on the bottom of the inner chassis (circled in red below).

7. Using a Phillips screwdriver, insert the four included screws into the screw holes to

fasten the drive to the inner chassis (shown below). When this is done, turn the inner

chassis back over.

8. Slide the inner chassis back into the outer enclosure.

Note that the inner chassis can slide in either end of the

outer enclosure, but the rails on one end of the outer chas-

sis are notched, as shown to the left. This allows the back

plate to sit ﬂush when attached.

9. Using a Phillips screwdriver, attach the back plate as shown to complete the assembly.

3.2 UNMOUNTING DRIVES

To properly unmount any connected drives from your computer, you need to follow a

few simple steps.

For Mac OS X systems:

There are two main methods to umount disks with Mac OS X systems. Either drag the

icon for the disk you wish to unmount to the trash can, or right-click the disk icon on

the desktop, then click “Eject”.

For Windows systems:

1. Go to the System Tray (located in the lower right corner of your screen). Click on the

“Eject” icon (a small green arrow over a hardware image).

2. A message will appear, detailing the devices that the “Eject” icon controls, i.e.,

“Safely remove...” Click on this prompt.

3. You will then see a message that says, “Safe to Remove Hardware.” It is now safe to

disconnect the Mercury Elite Pro mini from the computer.

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING

Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that both ends of your cables are properly

plugged into the computer and the Mercury Elite Pro mini. If the Mercury Elite Pro

mini is still not working properly, try connecting to another interface such as the USB

connection and see if the device works properly. You can also connect the Mercury Elite

Pro mini to a diﬀerent computer.

In rare instances, the power being provided through the interface cable may not be

suﬃcient to power the Mercury Elite Pro mini, depending on the computer you are using

and the hard drive or SSD inside the Mercury Elite Pro mini. An optional 5V power adapter

is available at: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/owc/motgpwr/
