Thanks Tarun and Dan.  I've found afaapps package after searching Dell's 
website.  The (older) dellmgr was unable to detect my card (I guess it 
supports older cards), but tools from afaaps worked great.  The tool 
almost immediately showed me a problem with one of the drives that I 
would be unaware of without it (apperently, there were errros on one of 
the buses, so bus speed backed all the way down to 5MHz, giving only 10 
MB/s transfer rate).  I've noticed a bit lower performance, but I 
initially tought it was just due to the relatively older disks I was 
playing with.

The only thing is that afaaps package assumes old monolitic /dev.  I 
need to write config file for udev, so that afa0 device is created 
during boot under CentOS.  If I manage to come up with something, I'll 
share it to the list.

Thanks again for great pointers,
