Transfer Raid5-Array-harddrives to different server

Because of a probably damaged motherboard in a PE1800 and the need of a very quick workaround we are thinking of transfering a Raid5-Array-Set of Hardrives (3 Drives with an additional hot-spare) to another PE1800.

The fundamental question is were the PE1800 stores it array-informations.
It is stored on the harddrives or in an VRAM on the Raid-Controller?

In first case it should be adequate just to move the four harddrives to the other PE1800 an plug them in. (After removing the the oringinally harddrives from this server)

In second case would it be adequate to move the discs and the controller.

What do you think about this hazardous plan. Any other ideas, recommends or warnings?
Please answer contemporary - we are under compulsion to reanimate the server particularly the files on the drives.

Thanks a lot
