•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

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.
