+.Bl -bullet -width Ds -offset indent -compact
+.It
+ServeRAID 3H/3HB/3L
+.It
+ServeRAID 4H/4L/4Lx/4M/4Mx

+Although the controllers are actual RAID controllers,
+the driver makes them look just like SCSI controllers.
+All RAID configuration is done through the bootable
+IBM ServeRAID Support CD;
+a CD image is freely available at the IBM website.
+.Pp
+RAID management is done through the
+.Xr bio 4
+device with the
+.Xr bioctl 8
+command.
+Logical disk status is exposed under the
+.Va hw.sensors
+.Xr sysctl 8
+and can be monitored using
+.Xr sensorsd 8 .
