3.1 TROUBLESHOOTING

Begin your troubleshooting by verifying that the power cable is connected to the Mercury 
Elite Pro Qx2 and to a power source. If the power cable is connected to a power strip or 
surge protector, make sure its power switch is in the ‘ON’ position.

Next, verify that both ends of your cables are properly plugged into the computer and the 
Qx2. If the Qx2 is still not working properly, try connecting to another interface such as the 
USB connection and see if the device works properly. You can also connect the Qx2 to a 
different computer to eliminate the possibility that the problem is with the computer and 
not the drive or cables. If you are still experiencing problems, see 

Section 3.4

 to contact 

Technical Support.

3.2 ABOUT DATA BACKUP

To ensure that your files are protected and to prevent data loss, we strongly suggest that 
you keep two copies of your data: one copy on your Mercury Elite Pro Qx2 and a second 
copy on your internal drive or another storage medium, such as an optical backup, or on a 
second external storage unit. Any data loss or corruption while using the Mercury Elite Pro 
Qx2 is the sole responsibility of the user, and under no circumstances may OWC, its parents, 
partners, and affiliates be held liable for loss of the use of data including compensation of 
any kind or recovery of the data.
