Familiarize yourself with the connections on the back of the OWC
Mercury drive - you will need to use these to connect your new drive to your
computer.
Hardware Installation:
To connect the external optical enclosure to your computer, attach the
included USB “Y” cable to the USB mini B port and the USB A connector to your
computer using the USB connector with two wires going into it.
Depending on the drive mechanism you installed, and the power of your USB
port, you may need to connect the second single wire USB A connector from
the included USB “Y” cable to another USB port on your computer. A second
option would be to purchase a separate standalone power supply - available

Most customers will not need either the “Y” cable or a standalone power cable
but will be able to use the enclosure with any mini B USB to standard A USB
cable.
We hope you enjoy your new external storage device!
