New fileserver advice.

Hi all!
I'm planning to build a new fileserver and I'd like some advice.

I've chosen a Supermicro X7SPA-H motherboard (6 sata, 1 pcie-express x4 in x16 slot, two intel gigabit ports).
I'm planning to build an always-on raid-6 array with the internal sata ports, and an hotplug one using an highpoint 2322 multilane pci-e controller in jbod mode (so software raid also on this one), with an external 8 bays sata tower.

I'm wondering if I can to this when I need to shutdown the external raid array.
- Umount the filesystem on the raid array
- Stop mdadm on this array
- Shutdown the external sata tower via the power button.

The question is:
when I need to power the external raid array back, with the fileserver with the internal raid array already up, the array will be assembled automatically?
Am I going to face some issues? Like rebuilding the array every time I power it up?

Thanks for your help.
Bye.
