I haven't really seen a 520, but if these RAID controllers are IBM ServeRAID then I have a bit of bad news to you. These don't work with FreeBSD. For god knows what reasons IBM seems to prefer Linux to FreeBSD so Linux drivers are available but not FreeBSD. Regarding your specific hardware questions, have you tried www.ibm.com? ISTR that quite a lot of information can be found there even for older models, but it takes a lot of digging. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * @dress: A garment worn by some people when emailing at home.
