The Plug N Play SCAM Support option is not supported.
To use the AHA-3940 or AHA-3940W adapters, the motherboard must have a BIOS that supports the DEC PCI-to-PCI Bridge chip on the host bus adapter.
User-level programs have exhibited problems on some PCI systems with an Adaptec AHA-2940 or AHA-2940W card, including the following motherboard models:
PCI motherboards with a 60-MHz Pentium chip, with PCI chipset numbers S82433LX Z852 and S82434LX Z850. The part numbers of the Intel motherboards are AA616393-007 and AA615988-009.
PCI motherboards with a 90-MHz Pentium chip, with PCI chipset numbers S82433NX Z895, S82434NX Z895, and S82434NX Z896. The part number of the Intel motherboard is 541286-005. (Some Gateway 2000 systems use this motherboard.)
The AA-619772-002 motherboard with 82433LX Z852 and 82434LX Z882 chips causes random memory inconsistencies. Return the motherboard to the vendor for a replacement.
If problems with user-level programs occur, use the BIOS setup to turn off write-back CPU caching (or all caching if there is no control over the caching algorithm).
If the AHA-2940 SCSI adapter does not recognize the Quantum Empire 1080S HP 3323 SE or other SCSI disk drive, reduce the Synchronous Transfer rate on the Adaptec controller to 8 Mbps.
The AHA-3940 has been certified by Adaptec to work on specific systems; however, some testing has shown that the Solaris operating environment works properly in some of those systems and not in others.
