Ns Ar X Ns Va .msi controls Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) usage by the specified controller. .It Va hint.siisch. Ns Ar X Ns Va .pm_level controls SATA interface Power Management for the specified channel, allowing some power to be saved at the cost of additional command latency. Possible values: .Bl -tag -width 2n -offset indent .It 0 interface Power Management is disabled (default); .It 1 device is allowed to initiate PM state change, host is passive. .El .Pp Note that interface Power Management is not compatible with device presence detection. A manual bus reset is needed on device hot-plug. .It Va hint.siisch. Ns Ar X Ns Va .sata_rev setting to nonzero value limits maximum SATA revision (speed). Values 1, 2 and 3 are respectively 1.5, 3 and 6Gbps. .El .Sh DESCRIPTION This driver provides the .Xr CAM 4 subsystem with native access to the .Tn SATA ports of controller. Each SATA port is represented to CAM as a separate bus with 16 targets. Most of the bus-management details are handled by the SATA-specific transport of CAM. Connected ATA disks are handled by the ATA protocol disk peripheral driver .Xr ada 4 . ATAPI devices are handled by the SCSI protocol peripheral drivers .Xr cd 4 , .Xr da 4 , .Xr sa 4 , etc. .Pp Driver features include support for Serial ATA and ATAPI devices, Port Multipliers (including FIS-based switching), hardware command queues (31 command per port), Native Command Queuing, SATA interface Power Management, device hot-plug and Message Signaled Interrupts. .Pp The activity LEDs of the adapters supported by the .Nm driver can be controlled via the .Xr led 4 API for localization or status reporting purposes. .Sh HARDWARE The .Nm driver supports the following controller chips: .Pp .Bl -bullet -compact .It SiI3124 (PCI-X 133MHz/64bit, 4 ports) .It SiI3131 (PCIe 1.0 x1, 1 port) .It SiI3132 (PCIe 1.0 x1, 2 ports) .It SiI3531 (PCIe 1.0 x1, 1 port) .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /dev/led/siisch* .It Pa /dev/led/siisch* identification LED device nodes .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ada 4 , .Xr ata 4 , .Xr cam 4 , .Xr cd 4 , .Xr da 4 , .Xr led 4 , .Xr sa 4 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Fx 8.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Alexander Motin Aq Mt mav@FreeBSD.org
