Laiju,
You have a couple options. You can reboot and then access the controller BIOS, now depending on the controller the prompt to access the controller BIOS on boot could be CTRLwith an A, M, R, or C.
Secondly, you can install Open manage on the server and be able to see the Raid details from within the OS.
Here is the link you will need - www.dell.com/.../DriverFileFormats
Let me know how it goes.

to followup to Chris, if you have the LSI Logic MegaRaid controller you really only need a utility called "Megamgr"
I simply copy this file over to the server, (i just use /opt/dell etc) then run: ./megamgr
This will give the web front-end of the raid controller just as if you rebooted and pressed "ctrl-m"
I use this on our 6850's with LSI perc, and RHEL4.7
I am unsure if there is a separate download for it still
