The other 7 installations are inside the Milky Way and will destroy all Sentient life inside their range. However, the Ark and the Instillation it is construction (4B) are far outside of the Milky Way. This is where the Forerunners took shelter when they fired the rings the first time. The Gravemind lands on the Ark, so destroying all sentient life on and around the Ark will destroy the Flood. But because Earth and all of the Covenant planets are out of range of Instillation 4B, they will not be affected by the firing of this ring.
You can see that the Ark is outside of the Milky Way at the very beginning of the level 'The Ark' one of the Marines points it out, and if you look up into the sky you will see the Milky Way.
thank you sir
