DELL PowerEdge R540 2U 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10 Core 64GB DDR4 H740P 8x 8TB SAS

Built for Virtualization and Database Workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each running at 2.2GHz with 10 cores. It includes 64GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots and a PERC H740P controller with 8GB cache. Eight 8TB 7.2K SAS drives provide 64TB of raw storage capacity.

Suits Consolidated Storage; Not for All-Flash Speed

This configuration serves organizations that need high-capacity bulk storage for virtual machines, databases, or file services within a 2U footprint. The 7.2K SAS drives deliver sequential throughput suited to capacity workloads, while the H740P supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Buyers requiring sub-millisecond latency or all-flash performance should consider alternative drive types.

Eight 3.5-Inch SAS Bays Define Maximum Drive Count

The chassis provides exactly eight 3.5-inch hot-swap bays wired to the H740P controller, so the installed 8TB drives occupy every slot. Expansion beyond 64TB raw requires an external enclosure or a different server model. Memory can grow to 1TB using the 16 available DDR4 slots, and both CPU sockets are already populated.
