Understand not part of the supported operating systems but I have seen comments of people being able to connect them just not sure how they are doing it.
There's really no reason it should not work but you can hardly expect Dell to pay money to certify it with Windows 2012 since it was discontinued before that OS was released. They want you to buy a shiny new MD3200. You can always use the Dell 6Gb SAS HBA rather then the 5/e if it's driver issue, that card's supported since it's still used to connect to the MD3200.

2012 sees and no reported issues with sas 5 driver. But nothing shows in the computer management, how do you connect it into the system?
