Default
Description
7
Sets the controller's SCSI ID. Adaptec
recommends that you leave the controller set
to the default, which gives it the highest
priority on the SCSI channel.
Enabled
Determines whether the controller verifies
the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI
channel. You should disable SCSI Parity
Checking on the controller and all SCSI
devices if any SCSI device supported by the
controller does not support SCSI parity;
otherwise, retain the default. Most SCSI
devices do support SCSI parity. If you are not
sure whether a device supports SCSI parity,
consult the documentation for the device.
Auto
Sets termination on the controller. Adaptec
Mode
recommends that you retain the default
setting.
