OWC MERCURY ELITE PRO MINI
INTRODUCTION
3
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:

• 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 5V 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 disconnecting
or powering off.
