3.2.2.1 Adapter Setup Menu
When you select Adapter Setup, the corresponding menu appears. Here
is an example of the Adapter Setup Menu:
The settings in this menu are global settings that affect the selected host
adapter and all SCSI devices attached to it. One of these choices can
be selected by highlighting it and pressing Enter.
SCAM Support – The Symbios BIOS version 4.xx and above supports
the SCSI Plug and Play protocol called SCAM (SCSI Configured
AutoMatically). SCAM support by default is off in adapter BIOS versions
4.09 and later for the SYM53C876 device. The user may choose to turn
this on only if the system drivers do not require SCAM off. Note that if
this BIOS is flashed onto a board with existing settings, then these
settings will not be changed to reflect the new BIOS defaults. Go into the
Configuration Utility to change these settings.
Parity – The Symbios PCI to SCSI host adapters always generate
parity, but some older SCSI devices do not. Therefore, you are offered
the option of disabling parity checking.
