What you are doing appears to be a RAID 50 not a RAID 10.
Clear the configuration to get the external drives all back to a ready status.
In the configuration screen highlight 0:0, press space bar, highlight 1:9 press space bar, press enter
highlight 0:1 press spacebar, highlight 1:10 press space bar, press enter.
Repeat till you have all the drives intended for the RAID 10 assigned. then press esc, and select the span = y and you should have your RAID 10 set up with the underlying mirrors spanning across the busses so that you could lose 1 whole bus and still have the data accessable.
For other readers: The PERC controller's users guide on the Dell support site should give the exact keystrokes for your particular controller.
