Setting up RAID configuration on an IBM x3650

I've been tasked with setting up a new IBM x3650 and I can't configure the LSI MR10M RAID controller. It seems that the LSI RAID configuration firmware is unusable without a mouse, I tried to find docs on the CLI but only found commands to view the configuration. Oh yes, I'm having a mouse problem too; the keyboard works fine but the mouse does not, the pointer stays on the left edge of the screen and moves to the right when buttons are clicked and even if I get the pointer in the correct location I can't select/activate a selection. Do I need to use a ps2 mouse?

I supposed to put Windows Server 2003 on this box, the outboard RAID array has 7 300GB drives in it. If I am able to set the configuratin of the RAID controller what would be the best configuration to use for these 7 discs? Obviously the person who ordered the system must have had something in mind so I guess I'm asking what the most logical use of the 7 drives would be. I think RAID 10 is supposed to be good:)
