APPENDIX 2.1 LARGE VOLUME SUPPORT AND FIREWIRE BOOTING IN MAC OS As your OWC Mercury Elite Pro is preconfigured and shipped, a setting known as “large volume support” has been enabled in the enclosure. Enabling large volume support allows the Mercury Elite Pro enclosure to utilize the full capacity of hard drives larger than 2TB. When large volume support is enabled, PowerPC Macs and Intel Macs introduced before 2008 will not be able to boot to the OWC Mercury Elite Pro over the FireWire connection.
2.4 TROUBLESHOOTING Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that the power cable is connected to the OWC Mercury Elite Pro and to a power source. If the power cable is connected to a power strip, make sure that the power switch on the strip is turned on. Then, simply verify that both ends of your cables are properly plugged into the computer and the Mercury Elite Pro.
