arcus 1200 is a small computer system interface (scsi) device. it communicates with your computer by using the scsi-2 standard. the scsi communication standard allows you to have several peripheral devices connected to your computer.

    before connecting the scsi devices you should always make sure that your computer and all scsi devices are switched off. if either the computer or any of the devices remains on, you could damage the computer or the device.

    a unique scsi id number is assigned to each device in the scsi chain enabling your computer to identify the device it wants to communicate with and the priority of each device.

    if two scsi devices have the same id number, your system will not work properly and you may damage your scsi devices. to avoid crashes, never use extension cables for scsi cables.
