NAME
     rr232x -- HighPoint RocketRAID 232x device driver

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
     kernel configuration file:

	   device rr232x
	   device scbus
	   device da

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   rr232x_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The  rr232x  driver provides support for HighPoint's RocketRAID 232x series
     of RAID controllers.  These devices support SATA disk  drives  and  provide
     RAID  0,  1, and 5 functionality.	Hardware acceleration for RAID 5 is also
     provided.	Additionally, if multiple controllers are present, arrays may be
     built out of drives that are attached  to	different  controllers.   Online
     management  is  provided  by utilities that are available for free download
     from http://www.highpoint-tech.com/.

HARDWARE
     The rr232x driver supports the following hardware:

     *	 HighPoint RocketRAID 2320
     *	 HighPoint RocketRAID 2322

NOTES
     The rr232x driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms.  Also,  while
     the  driver  can  be  loaded  as a module, it must be loaded prior to boot.
     Loading it after boot will result in the hardware not being detected.
