GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear Customer:
Thank you for your purchase
of
our QUIKSTOR winchester unit.

value your business and look

We
back all our products all
the
way, and we will not leave you
stranded when looking for support or advise. Our reputation has grown mainly
by
word
of
mouth.
We
do
very
little
advertising -we don't have to.
We
have a reputation
to
protect
and live up to,
and will continue to give you all needed support to
get
you going and
to
keep you going.
Any

Upon
receiving this order, inspect
the
shipping container and
the
contents.
If
any damage
is
noted
to
the contents, or any rough handling is noted with the package,
report
it
at
once
to
the
carrier,
and save
the
package and contents with
all
packing materials. This may be necessary for
return and/or
to
settle
insurance claims. To minimize shipping damage we
try
to
ship the
Quikstor units when possible, by Federal Express. Federal costs a
little
more, but they handle
the packages much
better
than
UPS.
They also have a 2 day delivery.
If
you have a problem upon receipt, call us immediately and we'll
let
you know if you should
contact
the carrier,
if
you have not already done so.
lf
problems develop
later
and you must
return
an item be sure
to
call us for advise and
authorization. Then be sure
it
is properly packaged and send
it
insured for
its
value via Federal
if
possible, otherwise
UPS
or
First Class mail.
WARRANTY:
All our hardware products carry a full
90
day parts and labor warranty.
If
you
have a problem during this time period we will either replace
the
merchandise upon
receipt
of
returned merchandise, or
repair
it
and ship out within
48
hours. In most cases, emergency
shipping can
be
scheduled for
24
hour
receipt
from your call.
After
the
90
days we continue
to
offer
full service, support and low repair
rates
when needed.
All software is covered by our one
year
warranty.
Any
defects
in software will be updated
free
during
the
first year period from purchase. Additional future updates will
be
made available
at
nominal charges. Our
software
warranty offers additional coverage which may not be covered in
our subcontractors warranties.

be
limited
to
coverage only for replacement or updated
software. See License agreement for more information.
No
warranty, service
or
support will
be
offered without registration being properly filled
out
and returned.

this
unit
to
any
type
of
shock or rough handling.
When
the
unit
is in
operation,
it
must be level and on a hard rigid
surface.
It
must
not
be
subject
to
any vibrations,
i.e.
don't
knock
the
unit while in
operation,
or
you could damage
the
hard disk
surface.

USES
WINCHESTER TECHNOLOGY. THE 6 HEADS NEVER
CONTACT THE SURFACE OF THE 3 PLATTERS,
BUT
ACTUALLY "FLY"
ABOVE
THE
SURFACK THE UNIT
MUST
BE RESTING ON A FIRM HARD SURFACE
WHICH
IS
NOT
SUBJECT TO VIBRATIONS OF
ANY
KIND!
IF
THE HARD DISK UNIT IS
BUMPED
OR
JARRED DURING OPERATION CAUSING THE HEADS TO
BANG
OR "CRASH", FATAL
RESULTS
MAY
OCCUR! Keep in mind
that
the
disk is
rotating
at
3600
RPM.
Even when not in
use,
the
unit must
not
be
subject
to
any undue shock or
vibrations~
Now
that
you have decided where
to
set
the
unit up,
the
next
step
is
to
connect
-
the
40
pin
SASI
cable
to
the
host
adapter
card
(incorrectly called a controller
card
by some) in your computer.

sections
