SCSI Bus Interface Options

SCSI Card ID—(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI card. The Adaptec SCSI Card is
●
set at 7, which gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. Adaptec recommends that you
do not change this setting.
SCSI Card Parity—(Default: Enabled) SCSI cards perform parity checking to verify the
●
accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Most currently available SCSI devices support
parity checking. However, if a device on the SCSI bus does not support parity checking,
disable this option. This setting changes parity for the entire SCSI card and the way it looks
at each ID on that SCSI card. You cannot mix devices that do and do not support parity
checking on the same SCSI bus.
SCSI Card Termination—(Default: Automatic) Determines the termination setting for the
●
SCSI card. The default setting is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the
termination as needed. Adaptec recommends that you do not change this setting.
