LSI U80ALVD - Manual (Page 50)

3-8 Configuring the LSIU80ALVD
Figure 3.6 Adapter Setup Menu
The settings in this menu are global settings that affect the selected host
adapter and all SCSI devices attached to it.
SCAM Support – The LSI Logic BIOS Version 4.0 and above supports
the SCSI Plug and Play protocol called SCAM. SCAM support by default
is off in versions 4.09.00 and later for the LSI53C895A device. You may
choose to turn this on. 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 settings.
Parity – The LSI Logic 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.
Note: When disabling parity checking, it is also necessary to
disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking for
the reselection phase is not disabled. If a device does not
generate parity, and it disconnects, the I/O never completes
because the reselection never completes.
