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.
