SCSI Bus Interface Definitions
• SCSI Controller ID—(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI card. The ASUS
LS99 SCSI card is set to 7,which gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.
We recommend that you do not change this setting.
• SCSI Controller Parity (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, verifies the
accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Leave this setting enabled unless any
SCSI device connected to the ASUS LS99 SCSI card does not support SCSI
parity.
• SCSI Controller Termination (Default: Enabled) Determines the termination
setting for the SCSI card. The default setting is Enabled.
