💖 HPTNR(4) 💖

okay so bestie, literally welcome to the hptnr man page, this one is the HighPoint DC Series Data Center HBA card driver and it's giving niche-but-iconic storage energy ✨ lowkey the whole thing is short, so grab a snack and let's go 🍓

🌸 NAME 🌸

hptnr — the HighPoint DC Series Data Center HBA card driver. that's it, that's the vibe 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so there are two ways to get this driver living in your system, pick your fighter 🫶

Option one: bake it straight into the kernel. put this literal line in your kernel configuration file:

device hptnr

Option two: load it as a module at boot time. then drop this line into loader.conf(5):

hptnr_load="YES"

both slay, both valid, choose based on your main character energy 😌

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the hptnr driver provides support for HighPoint's DC Series Data Center HBA card. that's the whole description, no cap, it's short and to the point 🔥

---

💜 HARDWARE 💜

the hptnr driver supports the following SATA controllers — like, these specific ones, okay? 👑

• HighPoint's DC7280 series 🌈
• HighPoint's Rocket R750 series ⭐

---

🎀 NOTES 🎀

this is the important part, bestie, pay attention 😭

the hptnr driver only works on the i386 and amd64 platforms, because it requires a binary blob object from the manufacturer — and they only supply that blob for these platforms. so like, no blob, no driver, periodt 💀

also, heads up: the hptnr driver does not work on i386 with pae(4) enabled. that's a hard no, not a maybe 🙈
