dell poweredge - Can I do a Raid 5 with a SAS6i/R?

I have a PowerEdge 2970 server with a:
SAS6i/R Integrated Controller for PowerEdge 2950/2970, x6 Backplane
http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/cables/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=corp&sku=330-2277




I just bought 3 hard drives that I plan to use in a RAID Configuration
I believe it's called a Raid 5 Configuration where there's 1 main drive all the stay in Sync.



My question is: Will the SAS6i/R Integrated Controller work?



Or do I need to buy something like: Dell Perc5I PCI-E SAS RAID Kit for PowerEdge 2970

Thanks!
