28.Sh NAME
29.Nm siis
30.Nd SiliconImage Serial ATA Host Controller driver
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following lines in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device pci"
37.Cd "device scbus"
38.Cd "device siis"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45siis_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Pp
48The following tunables are settable from the
49.Xr loader 8 :
50.Bl -ohang
51.It Va hint.siis. Ns Ar X Ns Va .msi
52controls Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI) usage by the specified controller.
53.It Va hint.siisch. Ns Ar X Ns Va .pm_level
54controls SATA interface Power Management for the specified channel,
55allowing some power to be saved at the cost of additional command
56latency.
57Possible values:
58.Bl -tag -width 2n -offset indent
59.It 0
60interface Power Management is disabled (default);
61.It 1
62device is allowed to initiate PM state change, host is passive.
63.El
64.Pp
65Note that interface Power Management is not compatible with
66device presence detection.
67A manual bus reset is needed on device hot-plug.
68.It Va hint.siisch. Ns Ar X Ns Va .sata_rev
69setting to nonzero value limits maximum SATA revision (speed).
70Values 1, 2 and 3 are respectively 1.5, 3 and 6Gbps.
71.El
72.Sh DESCRIPTION
73This driver provides the
74.Xr CAM 4
75subsystem with native access to the
76.Tn SATA
77ports of controller.
78Each SATA port is represented to CAM as a separate bus with 16 targets.
79Most of the bus-management details are handled by the SATA-specific
80transport of CAM.
81Connected ATA disks are handled by the ATA protocol disk peripheral driver
82.Xr ada 4 .
83ATAPI devices are handled by the SCSI protocol peripheral drivers
84.Xr cd 4 ,
85.Xr da 4 ,
86.Xr sa 4 ,
87etc.
88.Pp
89Driver features include support for Serial ATA and ATAPI devices,
90Port Multipliers (including FIS-based switching), hardware command queues
91(31 command per port), Native Command Queuing, SATA interface Power Management,
92device hot-plug and Message Signaled Interrupts.
93.Pp
94The activity LEDs of the adapters supported by the
95.Nm
96driver can be controlled via the
97.Xr led 4
98API for localization or status reporting purposes.
99.Sh HARDWARE
