Rebuild RAID 10 array

I have a 3ware 7500 RAID controller.  I have it set up as a RAID-10.
One of disks is labeled "incomplete".  I deleted that disk to make it
available and then tried to rebuild the array.  It is not clear to me
whether the array should be rebuilt in the BIOS or after the OS loads.
One point in the manual says the array rebuild is started in the BIOS
and proceeds after the OS loads.  That specific reference was to RAID-5.

Does anyone know if that is the case?  If so, can this happen with
FreeBSD (-current by the way)?  I initially thought a rebuild would
be done with the BIOS but I am not so sure now.  Does anyone have any
experience with this situation?

Thanks.
