The HBA355e is the successor of the 12G SAS HBA which are both simple passtrough HBA without RAID, Cache or BBU. Designed to connect Tape, and external RAID Arrays or JBODs for software designed storage. The 12G SAS HBA isnt available any more so HBA355e is supportet in 15Gen Server and within the R740(xd) as shown in your table and the pdfs.
Warning: Connecting a Dell SC (Compellent) SAS Storage on the HBA355e will not work and of course not supportet.
