I have a couple blog posts related to running FreeBSD on the R620.
You may want to read through them.

As far as I am aware, the mfi driver needed to support the H710 RAID
controller is only in stable/8 and stable/9 right now.  I believe it
should be in 9.1-RELEASE, but I could be wrong.  If/when 8.4-RELEASE
is dropped, it should be in there too.
