IMPORTANT NOTICES

Safety Notices

•The warranty is void if an unauthorized person attempts and/or repairs the hard disk drive.

•Read all Manuals and instructions carefully before using the device.

•Do not spill any liquid or insert any object into the device.

•Use the device within the specifications indicated, including but not limited to: power

requirements, temperature, humidity, sunlight and magnetism from other devices such as

computers and televisions.

•Please visit the Rocstor website, www.rocstor.com for further information concerning

on the Rocstor website (www.rocstor.com) for further details.

Capacity Disclaimer

Actual accessible hard drive capacity will indicate up to 10% lower than stated under different

Operating Systems and formatting.

The storage volume is measured in total bytes before formatting. References to round

numbers of gigabytes or terabytes are an approximation only. For example, a disk drive labeled

as having 00GB (gigabytes) has space for approximately 00,000,000,000 bytes before

formatting. After formatting, the drive capacity is reduced by about % to 10% depending on

the operating system and formatting used.

Care and Handling

The following instructions concern the proper care and handling of the Articroc 4-Bay RAID.

Please take a moment to review these instructions.

•As with any storage solution, it is recommended that all data be backed up regularly.

•Ensure that you follow the proper removal procedure to disconnect the RAID.

•Do not move or disconnect this device from your computer while it is reading or writing

data. This may cause damage to the RAID.

•Do not place this device near a heat source or expose it to direct flame.

•Do not place the device near any equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields.

Exposure to strong electromagnetic fields may cause the device to malfunction or data to be

corrupted.
