+.Sh NAME
+.Nm asr
+.Nd
+.Tn Driver for Adaptec I2O based SCSI host bus adapters.
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device asr"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The Adaptec
+.Nm asr
+driver provides access to SCSI disks
+and disk arrays controlled by I2O based host bus adapters and
+SmartRAID SCSI RAID adapters through the standard SCSI disk
+.Xr sd 4
+interface.
+The adapters currently supported include the following RAID adapters:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width "Adaptec SmartRAID PM1554" -compact
+.It Adaptec SCSI RAID 2100S
+.It Adaptec SCSI RAID 3200S
+.It Adaptec SCSI RAID 3400S

+.It Adaptec SmartRAID PM2865
+.It Adaptec SmartRAID PM3754
+.It Adaptec SmartRAID PM3755
+.It Adaptec SmartRAID PM3757
+.El
+.Pp
+Some of the adapters provide 64 bit PCI,
+Compact PCI,
+ACPI and up to four channels of Ultra 160 SCSI,
+or two channels of 1GB Fibre.
+All support RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-10, RAID-5 and RAID-50 arrays.
+All SCSI target types are supported.
+.Pp
+The PCI adapters automatically configure
+using the configuration mechanism of the bus they are on.
+With PCI adapters
+the IRQ sometimes has to be assigned from a BIOS configuration menu
+(some BIOS's do this automatically).
+.Pp
+All host bus adapters must be configured
+before they can be used with any operating system.
+Please contact Adaptec directly to obtain the latest information
+on configuration utilities for the adapters.
+Currently there are both a GUI Motif based configuration utility
+and a CLI based configuration utility available from the Adaptec Web site.
+Note that in the absence of a native BSD/OS version
+of the configuration utilities
+does not mean one can not configure the devices via the BIOS
+based configuration tool Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR).

+driver first appeared as the dpti2o driver under BSDi BSD/OS 3.2,
