NAME

     asr -- driver for Adaptec I2O based SCSI/ATA host bus adapters

SYNOPSIS

     device asr

DESCRIPTION

     The Adaptec asr driver provides access to disks and disk arrays con-
     trolled by I2O based host bus adapters and SmartRAID SCSI RAID adapters
     through the standard SCSI disk da(4) interface.

     The supported adapters provide 64 bit PCI, Compact PCI, Zero Channel PCI,
     and up to four channels of Ultra2, Ultra 160, or Ultra320 SCSI, or two
     channels of 1GB Fibre.  All support RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-10, RAID-5 and
     RAID-50 arrays.  All SCSI target types are supported.  For the ATA based
     controllers, one IDE drive per channel is supported.  Hot-swapping of IDE
     drives is not supported at this time.

     All host bus adapters must be configured before they can be used with any
     operating system.	Please contact Adaptec directly to obtain the latest
     information on configuration utilities for the adapters.  Currently there
     are both a Motif based GUI configuration utility and a CLI based configu-
     ration utility available from the Adaptec Web site.  The cards and arrays
     can also be configured via the BIOS based configuration tool (SMOR).

NOTES

     The ATA based controllers present their devices as SCSI-like devices via
     CAM.  For IDE drives attached to these cards, a subset of standard SCSI
     commands and mode pages are understood via translation performed in the
     card's firmware.
