I've got several of these beasts (DL320 G2) and I haven't been able to get
hardware RAID to work.  The output of 'lspci' reports:

00:02.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 0649 Ultra ATA/100
PCI to ATA Host Controller (rev 02)

I believe this chipset is dependent on a Windows-based driver to make it
work and is NOT supported in CentOS.  I'm using software RAID 1 on them
and am fairly happy with it.

Hope that helps!
