Do I understand correctly, these 2 disks are connected to the raid controller, but they are not involved in any way, that is, a raid has not been created on them. Do you need to go to the raid controller to initialize the disks, create a raid and use them safely?

exactly.
if the disks are in the array, their status is Online
when you create a raid from the SSD, do not forget to disable the caches on the controller (the adaptopt utility itself will warn you about this)
, but the cache on your "non-casher" ssd disks should also be disabled.
