My dell SC430 came with instructions on how to set up booting from software raid under RHEL. I can't find an online copy but this might help http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2003-July/008898.html Normally before I move a machine from testing to production I like to do some tests, including pulling a disk from the raid and knowing how to recover/restore etc. If it is going to be remotely hosted, you also need to figure out how you are going to do it remotely.
