Select this option and press Enter to view and modify
device properties.

SCSI Parity

Configuration
[Yes/No]

Indicates whether SCSI parity is enabled for an
adapter. When disabled, it is also necessary to
disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking
for the reselection phase is not disabled. If a
non-parity 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. It is
recommended that this field be set to the highest
priority SCSI identifier, which is 7.

SCSI Bus Scan Order

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