When you select Adapter Setup from the Adapter Utilities menu, the
Adapter Setup menu is displayed:
The settings in this menu are global settings that effect the selected host
adapter and all SCSI devices attached to it.
SCAM Support
The Symbios Logic BIOS version 4.x and above supports the SCSI Plug
and Play protocol called SCAM (SCSI Configured AutoMatically). You
can turn this off if you wish.
Parity
Symbios Logic PCI to SCSI host adapters always generate parity, but
some SCSI devices do not. For this reason you can disable parity
checking.

When disabling parity checking, you may have to disable disconnects for
certain devices as parity checking for the re-selection phase is not
disabled. If a device does not generate parity, and it disconnects, the I/O
never completes because the re-selection never completes.
