INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

2.2 DRIVE INSTALLATION
1.  Remove Mercury Pro U.2 Dual from its packaging and set  

it on a static-free work surface.

2.  Remove the two screws highlighted in red from the back  

of the enclosure and set them aside.

3.  Pull on the front plate of the enclosure so the inner-chassis 

slides out (A), then remove it fully (B).

4.  Set the inner chassis flat on the work surface.
5.  Making sure the connector on the shuttle aligns with  

the connector on the inner-chassis, place the shuttle into 

the housing. Then, connect the inner-chassis to the U2 

Shuttle by sliding it in the direction shown until it is fully 

seated. If the device does not seat fully, do not apply more 

force. Move it back and try again. As long as the OWC U2 

Shuttle is sitting flush in the drive carrier, the connectors 

should automatically align. 

6.  Affix the U2 Shuttle to the inner-chassis at the locations 

shown. Note: the hole for a 2.5 inch U.2 drive is circled in 

yellow. A total of one screw is required for 2.5 inch drives, 

and four screws (two aside) for 3.5 inch drives and the 

OWC U.2 Shuttle.

7.  Once the U2 Shuttle is secured, flip the inner chassis  

if needed and repeat Steps 5 and 6 to install another  

3.5-inch U.2 device or OWC U2 Shuttle.

2.1 QUICK START
If your Mercury Pro U.2 Dual shipped with one or more OWC U2 Shuttles, the M.2 SSDs and the shuttles have 

been pre-installed and the drives pre-formatted. You can skip ahead to Section 2.3. This section shows the 

installation steps for the OWC U2 Shuttle; identical steps are used for installing third party 3.5-inch U.2 drives 

and adapters. Notes are also provided for 2.5-inch U.2 drives.
