Pop in the CD and you can install directly onto the 3ware array. The management tools to then manipulate the array can be either downloaded from 3ware or built from the ports. cd /usr/ports/sysutils/3dm/ make install or just download the cli. Also supported, are the smartmontools which are quite handy. ---Mike
