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 LSI Logic BIOS version 4.0 and above supports the SCSI Plug and Play protocol called SCAM (SCSI Configured AutoMatically). SCAM support by default is off in versions 4.09 and later for the LSI53C876 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 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.
