2.4 HOST INSTALLATION: MERCURY PRO U.2 DUAL
This section describes the process of installing the OWC U2 

Shuttle in the Mercury Pro U.2 Dual. The instructions listed 

here will the same or very similar to the ones found in that 

product’s assembly manual, located at  

www.owc.com/support/manuals

.

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 per side) for 3.5 inch drives and the 

OWC U2 Shuttle.

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

if needed and repeat Steps 5 and 6 to install another U.2 

device or OWC U2 Shuttle.
