Dell PERC H350 Low-Profile PCIe RAID Controller — WK5N7

This PERC H350 is a low profile RAID controller, identified by Dell part number WK5N7.

When replacing a controller, check firmware levels first; a controller of the same family can usually pick up the existing array from the drives. Set-up happens in the controller’s pre-boot utility, and arrays can be managed later from the operating system. As a Dell PERC it is intended for PowerEdge servers; check your server’s supported controller list. This is the low-profile PCIe card version of the controller. Hardware RAID offloads parity calculations from the host and presents the array to the operating system as ordinary volumes. Look-alike parts can differ in revision, and the Dell part number is what tells them apart. Controller and disk health can be monitored from the server’s management console. The controller must match the backplane it connects to, as the backplane decides which drives it can see. Check WK5N7 against the service configuration of your Dell system before ordering.

Condition is certified refurbished, and each part is inspected, bench-tested and checked in Johannesburg.
