HI. Hmm.. x3650 (the first gen) is a no longer shipping model. May be you are about x3650m2 or more likely m3? Anyway, all three generations are known to have onboard RAID-controllers supported in FreeBSD. In x3650 model that's ServeRAID-8k supported by aac(4), In x3650 m2/m3 that's ServeRAID M5014/5015 (rarely MR10i in the first m2 models) supported by mfi(4). -- wbr, pluknet _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
