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.
