Just boot into the PERC configuration tool during boot up. I think it's CTRL + M, then just delete the container information, which should blow away your RAID configs and the data that is on them.

Otherwise, why not reformat/fdisk/clear array configs? If they're going to ship you another server, you're going to have hardware/registry inconsistencies like MAC address. Personally, I wouldn't take that chance on a DC.
