The default values for the AIC 7899 SCSI Bus Interface Definitions are:
SCSI Bus Interface Definitions
Host Adapter SCSI ID
SCSI Parity Checking
Host Adapter SCSI Termination
Host Adapter SCSI ID
This option allows you to change the host controller SCSI ID. The default setting is
SCSI ID 7. (We recommend that you not change this setting.) Some operating
system software will not run unless the SCSI controller ID is set at 7.
Each SCSI device on the SCSI bus, including the SCSI controller, must be set to a
unique SCSI ID. The SCSI ID serves two purposes: it uniquely identifies each
SCSI device on the bus, and it determines the device's priority on the bus during
the Arbitration phase. The Arbitration phase determines which device controls the
bus when two or more devices request use of it.
SCSI Parity Checking
Select this option to enable or disable SCSI Parity Checking on the SCSI
controller. The default setting is Enabled.
The SCSI controller always checks parity when reading from the SCSI bus to
verify the correct transmission of data from your SCSI devices. You should disable
SCSI Parity Checking if any attached SCSI devices do not support SCSI parity.
(Most currently available SCSI devices do support SCSI parity.)
Host Adapter SCSI Termination
This option allows you to configure host controller SCSI termination

Boot Device Options

This option shows the target ID of the device you are booting from. The default
setting is 0 (zero). We recommend that you not change this setting. Some
operating systems will not run unless the boot device is set at zero.
