This is mostly a software RAID list, but this looks straightforward
enough.  The specs you listed show that you've specified the RAID-6
setup, so it should arrive pre-configured.  If not, you'll need to set
it up via the controller BIOS (should pop up a message at boot time).
The drivers should be included with RHEL5, and with 6GB RAM I'd say
you'd want 64-bit (there's little reason to go for 32-bit over 64-bit
nowadays).
