Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

3.2.2.1  Adapter Setup Menu 

When you select Adapter Setup, the corresponding menu appears. Here 
is an example of the Adapter Setup Menu:

The settings in this menu are global settings that affect the selected host 
adapter and all SCSI devices attached to it. One of these choices can 
be selected by highlighting it and pressing Enter.

SCAM Support  – The Symbios BIOS version 4.xx and above supports 
the SCSI Plug and Play protocol called SCAM (SCSI Configured 
AutoMatically). SCAM support by default is off in adapter BIOS versions 
4.09 and later for the SYM53C876 device. The user may choose to turn 
this on only if the system drivers do not require SCAM off. 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 these settings.

Parity  – The Symbios 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.
