3.5.3 Enabling SCAM Support
SCAM is a protocol that allows SCAM-compliant peripherals to assign
their SCSI IDs dynamically at boot time, eliminating the need for you to
check and set unique SCSI IDs. The SDMS PCI BIOS and the
SYMC8XX.MPD
,
SYM_HI.MPD
, and
SYM_U3.MPD
drivers have this feature
disabled by default.
Some peripherals have problems with the SCAM protocol, resulting in the
device either not being seen by the operating system, or not working

SCAM.
