Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server

This Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16GB modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages eight 4TB 7.2K SAS drives installed in 3.5-inch bays.

Suits virtualization, databases and file serving

The dual 12-core configuration and large memory capacity suit virtualization clusters, database hosting and file or application servers. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who need more than 384GB of memory, more than two processor sockets, or internal GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms.

Maximum memory capacity is 384GB

The platform provides 16 DIMM slots and supports a maximum memory capacity of 384GB using DDR4 registered ECC modules. This ceiling determines whether the server can grow with your workload or if a higher-capacity platform is required.
