formatting tips.

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.

2.2 ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: The following assembly instructions are written for users who purchased

the Mercury Elite Pro as an empty enclosure. The instructions show how to open the

Mercury Elite Pro in order to install a drive. If you purchased the Mercury Elite Pro

with a drive already installed, opening the Mercury Elite Pro before the expiration

of the original warranty will VOID the warranty. If you wish to remove or replace a

drive after the expiration of the original warranty, you may do so at that time.

1. Remove the Mercury Elite Pro from the retail box and the protective plastic bag.

Set the Mercury Elite Pro on its side and look at the bottom of the enclosure. Use

a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws, circled below in red.
