PowerEdge R540 2U Rack Server
The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for expanding business and data centre environments. It runs two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 2.3GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 16GB modules. A PERC H730P controller with battery-backed cache manages the twelve drive bays.
Suited for virtualisation
This server fits organisations running virtualisation, database management or software-defined storage on Intel Xeon Scalable architecture. The twelve 3.5-inch bays populated with 8TB 7.2K SATA drives serve capacity-first deployments. Buyers needing solid-state performance or a different drive count should evaluate other configurations.
PERC H730P RAID controller with battery
The Dell PERC H730P provides 2GB cache and 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery backup. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This controller choice determines the data protection and performance profile available to the twelve installed drives.

Questions sur cet article
What is included with the server and what is missing from the front?
The system ships with two Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 64GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory, a PERC H730P controller with battery, twelve 8TB 7.2K SATA drives, dual 1GbE ports, iDRAC 9 Express and two 750W platinum power supplies. The front bezel and ready rails are not included.
How should I choose between the single-processor and dual-processor versions of this R540?
This unit already contains two Xeon Gold 5118 12-core CPUs running at 2.3GHz with 3.2GHz turbo, giving 24 total cores and 64GB across four DIMM slots; select this configuration when your workloads need the full core count and memory bandwidth of both sockets.
What does the H730P controller's 2GB cache and 12Gb/s SAS speed mean for the twelve 8TB drives in daily use?
The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with battery-backed cache, so the twelve 3.5-inch SATA drives can be grouped into redundant arrays while the 2GB cache absorbs write bursts at the controller's full 12Gb/s link speed.
