Im not sure, but I think the 370 has the same RAID as the DL360.
Here's output from a DL360 running 4.10.

 > grep ^da /var/run/dmesg.boot
da0 at ciss0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <COMPAQ RAID 1  VOLUME OK> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 135.168MB/s transfers
da0: 34727MB (71122560 512 byte sectors: 255H 32S/T 8716C)

I cant remember doing anything special to get it running, simply 
setup the raid in the BIOS and install bsd on the resulting raid volume.
