I dont know what you are talking of since an RP3440 is a small rack server, the hardware depends on what options you ordered: in standard it has a Dual channel Ultra160 SCSI controller and can hold 3 internal disks so it limits RAID choices dont you think?
Usually you would have 2 internal disks each on a separate channel for system purpose in mirror (RAID 1) and SAN Fiber channel HBAs for the rest...

Addendum...
You could use this command to see: Here its my RP5450...

BT(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						     BT(4)

NAME

     bt -- Buslogic/Mylex MultiMaster SCSI host adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device isa
	   device scbus
	   device bt

	   In /boot/device.hints:
	   hint.bt.0.at="isa"
	   hint.bt.0.port="0x330"

DESCRIPTION

     This driver provides access to the SCSI bus connected to a Buslogic/Mylex MultiMaster or compatible controller:

HISTORY

     The bt driver first appeared in the 386BSD patch kit.

AUTHORS

     Julian Elischer wrote a driver for the Multimaster cards that appeared in the 386BSD patch kit.  The driver was rewritten by Justin T. Gibbs
     to take advantage of new board features and work with the CAM SCSI framework in FreeBSD 3.0.

     Special thanks to Leonard N. Zubkoff for writing such a complete and well documented Mylex/BusLogic MultiMaster driver for Linux.	Support in
     this driver for the wide range of MultiMaster controllers and firmware revisions, with their otherwise undocumented quirks, would not have
     been possible without his efforts.
