Cable Connections:
Attachment of the cables is simple on any platform.
1. Plug the power input cord into the wall and to the OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2.
2. Connect the eSATA, FireWire 800, FireWire 400, or USB 2.0 cable - appropriate for the
interface your computer supports, into the drive and computer. For best performance,
OWC recommends you use the eSATA connection.
If you purchased your OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Qx2 with drives, it is precongured
as a RAID 5, formatted Mac OS Extended for the Macintosh and is ready to use. If you
want to change this conguration, please follow the instructions in the manual to do
so. If you purchased an empty enclosure, you have to format your drives yourself.
