*Halo would require a massive amount of gravity to hold it into place; this may be why Installation 04 orbits [[Threshold]].

*Alpha Halo is where Humanity first comes into official and recorded contact with the [[Flood]]. But Humanity's first true contact with the Flood was actually 21 (21/3=[[7]]) years earlier, when the UNSC [[Spirit of Fire]] sent troops to the surface of an unknown Forerunner-like planet. The surviving crew members of the ship, however did not have a FTL Reactor to send them back to UNSC-controlled space to make their report about the Flood, as shown in the game [[Halo Wars]].

*Installation 04, along with its successor, are the two most featured [[Halo]]s in the trilogy. It is the only known destroyed [[Forerunner]] Halo~~. (However, the [[Ark]] may not be completely destroyed.)~~

*Installation 04, along with its successor, are the two most featured [[Halo]]s in the trilogy. It is the only known destroyed [[Forerunner]] Halo.

*Alpha Halo's architecture is similar to that of the [[Ark]], if not nigh-identical.

*Johnson describes it as "God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch-machine" and a "giant hula-hoop".

*The numbering of the rings concerning the IWHBYD ring sequence is the opposite to the rings' actual installation numbers and should not be confused.

*Of the seven holographic representations of the Halo rings present in the [[Citadel]] on the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]] on [[Halo 3]], the hologram of Installation 04 is the only Halo ring not rotating. This is unusual in that the proper construction of the ring would require gravity to hold structures and scaffolding in place, and the only known way for the rings to provide gravity is by producing centrifugal force by spinning. There could also be a device around the Ark's Foundry that gives the rings gravity as they are being made. [To whomever wrote this, go read some physics. Centrifugal force does not exist, and gravity is an attractive force based on mass. The mass of the rings would provide the gravity, spinning with a ''centripetal'' force would have no affect on the gravity whatsoever]

*It is believed that [[Didact]] activated the [[Halo Array]] by first activating Installation 04 (though not confirmed).

*It is possible to see falling debris from Installation 04 on [[Burial Mounds]].
