Hi,
one solution which works for sure is to reboot your server, and then soon after the Dell logo disappears, a message is shown from the PERC (that's how the dell raids are called I think), where you can press <ctrl>-a or something like this. Then you are in the raid management tool where you get all the detailed infos about your disks as well as raid configurations.
Only if rebooting is an option for you, of course.
Regards, Sebastian

if they are dells go to support.dell.com and input your system serial numbers. You'll get the information you need there.

I'm doing an audit of all our servers here (there aren't that many maybe around 5-10) and one of the things I'm doing is taking note of each server's hardware specs (processor, memory, etc).
As a first task for your audit I'd recommend counting your servers :-p
Haha. Was too lazy to look at my notes. We currently have 8 servers.
Hardware RAID cards are usually managed by third-party add-on programs. E.g. HP provides the tool called hpacucli which can determine everything regarding your RAID controller and discs.
What kind of hardware RAID solution do you have? If you can't determine, the output of lspci might help.
It's a Dell 2550 PowerEdge server.
Below is the result of lspci:
