I assume that "Compaq Smart Array 5i" and "HP Smart Array 5i" is the exact same thing. The 51 predates the merger of HP and Compaq, after which it was probably renamed because of markting purposes, but it is still the very same thing, technically. FreeBSD runs fine on one of those here (a ProLiant DL360). Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
