It could really be an error.  Is the scsi cable terminated
correctly either on the cable or (only) the last device and
if one or the other of the internal or external cables is
unused the card should have it's terminator activated or
on 'auto'. Or, this might be one of those devices where
you have to disable parity in the card bios.
