## Long description

The DELL 405-AAEK RAID controller is a PCI Express x8 3.0 storage controller designed for server environments. It supports both SAS and SATA III drives across 8 channels and implements hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Built around the LSI family SAS 3108 processor, the controller is compatible with a range of PowerEdge servers and is intended for deployment in Windows Server 2008 R2 and 2012 systems where dependable RAID functionality and high throughput are required.
Advantages
The controller provides multi-level RAID support for flexible data protection and performance tuning, with hardware acceleration from the SAS 3108 chipset. Its PCI Express x8 host interface offers high-bandwidth connectivity to the host system, while support for both SAS and SATA III media enables mixed-drive configurations. Compatibility with common PowerEdge server models simplifies integration into existing server fleets.
Suitable for
 Enterprise and SMB server storage requiring hardware RAID
 Database servers and virtualized hosts where redundancy and performance are needed
 Backup and archival systems using mixed SAS/SATA drives
 Systems running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012

How to use
Install the controller into a free PCIe x8 slot on a compatible server motherboard following standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions. Connect SAS or SATA drive backplanes or cables to the controller’s ports according to the server chassis layout. Power on the host and enter the system's pre-boot configuration utility to verify the controller is detected and to configure RAID arrays. Load the appropriate drivers in the operating system, then initialize and format logical volumes before placing them into production.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance and reliability, use enterprise-class SAS drives when implementing RAID levels that require high I/O throughput or write performance. Ensure firmware and driver versions for both the controller and host server are kept up to date.
