Ask the SA to show you the contents of /var/log/dmesg and look for lines like:

scsi1: scanning virtual channel 0 for logical drives. Vendor: MegaRAID Model: LD 0 RAID5 490G Rev: 411M

  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

and so on. Unfortunately you must be logged on as root, so you'll need to ask the SA.
