that is an Intel ICH10 SATA controller, which is purely JBOD hardware, 
it supports Intel's 'Matrix' fake-raid.

I highly recommend you use it in AHCI mode (thats a BIOS setting) and 
configure raid in linux with mdraid

If you want harwdare raid in a DL180G6, you should have gotten one of 
the optional 'real' raid controllers such as the P410i w 1gb flash 
writeback cache.
