I have a pair of them, havent had any problems. The builtin SCSI
is supported, shows up as:
sym0: <895> port 0x9000-0x90ff mem 0xfa201000-0xfa201fff,0xfa202000-0xfa2020ff irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci1
sym0: Symbios NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-40, SE, parity checking
sym0: open drain IRQ line driver, using on-chip SRAM
sym0: using LOAD/STORE-based firmware.

The NetRAID 1Si and disk array shows up as:
amr0: <AMI MegaRAID> mem 0xfa800000-0xfabfffff irq 7 at device 9.1 on pci0
amr0: firmware \^C\^AF  bios \^D\^AB   16MB memory
amr0: s/g table too low (0x1000), reallocating
amrd0: <MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0
amrd0: 8677MB (17770496 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal)

The disk array is pretty speedy, never tested the hot swap or tried to
break the array and rebuild it. The only problem we have had is that the
server doesnt easily mount in a standard 19" cabinet. You either need an
HP rack, or you need to put the servers on shelves.
