The fields on this panel are described as follows:
1 SCSI Parity Checking
Select this option to enable or disable SCSI Parity Checking on the host
adapter. If enabled, the host adapter will check parity when reading from
the SCSI bus to verify the correct transmission of data from your SCSI
devices. SCSI Parity Checking should be disabled if any attached SCSI
device does not support SCSI parity. Most currently available SCSI devices
do support SCSI parity.
