39.Sh NAME
40.Nm isci
41.Nd Intel C600 Serial Attached SCSI driver
42.Sh SYNOPSIS
43To compile this driver into your kernel,
44place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
45.Bd -ragged -offset indent
46.Cd "device scbus"
47.Cd "device isci"
48.Ed
49.Pp
50Or, to load the driver as a module at boot, place the following line in
51.Xr loader.conf 5 :
52.Bd -literal -offset indent
53isci_load="YES"
54.Ed
55.Sh HARDWARE
56The
57.Nm
58driver provides support for Intel C600
59.Tn SAS
60controllers.
61.Sh CONFIGURATION
62To force legacy interrupts for all
63.Nm
64driver instances, set the following tunable value in
65.Xr loader.conf 5 :
66.Bd -literal -offset indent
67hw.isci.force_legacy_interrupts=1
68.Ed
69.Sh DEBUGGING
70To enable debugging prints from the
71.Nm
72driver, set the
73.Bd -literal -offset indent
74hw.isci.debug_level
75.Ed
76.Pp
77variable to a value between 1 and 4 in
78.Xr loader.conf 5 .
79.Pp
80The hardware layer in the
81.Nm
82driver has extensive logging capabilities
83which are disabled by default for performance reasons.
84These can be enabled by adding
85.Bd -literal -offset indent
86options ISCI_LOGGING
87.Ed
88.Pp
89to the kernel configuration file.
