properties.

SCSI Parity

Configuration
[Yes/No]

Indicates whether SCSI parity is enabled for an adapter. When
disabled, you must disable disconnects for all devices, as parity
checking for the reselection phase is not disabled. If a nonparity
generating device disconnects, its operation will never complete
because the reselection fails due to parity error.

Host SCSI ID

Configuration
[0 to 7/0 to 15]

Indicates the SCSI identifier of an adapter. LSI Logic
recommends that this field be set to the highest priority SCSI
identifier, which is 7.

SCSI Bus
Scan Order

Configuration
[Low to High (0
.. Max)/High to
Low (Max .. 0)]

Indicates the order in which to scan SCSI identifiers on an
adapter. Changing this item will affect drive letter assignment(s)
if more than one device is attached to an adapter.

Removable
Media
Support

Configuration
[None/Boot
Drive Only/
With Media
Installed]

Specifies the removable media support option for an adapter.
Removable media support only applies to devices that report
themselves as a hard drive. It does not apply to CD-ROM
devices or Magnetic Optical devices.

None indicates no removable media support whether the drive is
selected as first (BBS), or is first in the scan order (non-BBS).
Boot Drive Only provides removable media support for a
removable hard drive if it is first in the scan order.
With Media Installed provides removable media support
regardless of the drive number assignment. You must have
media in the drive at bootup.
