DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2x Xeon 4114 2.2GHz 10-core 128GB DDR4 8x 4TB 7.2K SAS H330 iDRAC9 2x 750W

Dual Xeon 10-core server for virtualization

The PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 10 cores for a total of 20 cores and 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots. Eight 3.5-inch 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives connect through a PERC H330 controller, offering high-capacity storage for business-critical workloads such as virtualization, database hosting, and file services.

Redundant platinum power supplies

Two hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The 2U chassis uses Dell's engineered thermal design to manage heat from the dual processors, memory, and eight drive bays under normal operating conditions. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC 9 Enterprise provide remote management and monitoring without adding significant power draw or acoustic load in typical office or data-centre environments.

Sustained multi-core throughput

Under sustained load, both Xeon processors maintain multi-core performance across 20 total cores, supported by the 128 GB installed memory and expandable to 384 GB across all 16 DIMM slots. The H330 controller handles continuous SAS and SATA traffic from the eight 7.2K drives for steady database or virtualization I/O. This configuration suits organisations needing consistent compute and storage throughput rather than burst-oriented or GPU-accelerated workloads.
