ml350 server add new hot swap drives

I have a ml350 proliant server with two 36 gb drives in raid1.

It has 4 spare hot drive bays and I have 4 *18gb hot swap compaq drives to add in the hot swap caddy.
The machine has an additional SCSI card somthing like 641?

I want the new drives to be RAid 5 sepperate to the other drives.

Is this possible ?

Do I simply plug the drives in and then reboot or just go to windows disk management?

So the server is running ... put the drives in and then reboot to bios ?
Go into bios and select from there ?
Or is it boot and push F9 F10 whatever to get to the hardware scsi manager?
On the windows desktop there is a Hp utility called  "smart array 641 controller" . Can I do it fom here ?

Thanks
