Plus, I admit I'm lost in the sheer myriad of options in the various boot configuration tools (bios, scsi configurator).

I would start by opening the box and see what's inside.

What are the disks connected to?

To the motherboard? To a controller in a PCI or whatever slot?

Usually, on the cover you remove to get access to the inside, there's a drawing of the motherboard with a list of connections.

Boot a live CD/USB and do an lspci to list controllers.

On my old ML370 G3 I could connect the disks either to a smart array controller in a PCI slot or the SCSI controllers on the motherboard.
