Purpose-built 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 32GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across four 8GB modules and a PERC H330 storage controller. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bay fillers are installed, alongside dual 1GbE network ports and iDRAC9 Express for remote management.

Fit for Virtualisation and Storage

This server suits organisations deploying virtualisation, database workloads or software-defined storage that benefit from high 3.5-inch drive density and dual-socket compute. Buyers who need a smaller 1U form factor, GPU-accelerated compute density or front bezel and rail kits included should evaluate other platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch Drive Bays

The chassis provides twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays, currently populated with fillers, allowing a direct choice of SAS or SATA drives up to the full bay count. This capacity ceiling is the primary factor when sizing the system for storage-heavy applications.

Questions about this item

What storage controller standard does the PERC H330 use and what throughput does it cap at?

The PERC H330 is a 12Gb/s SAS and SATA controller, so each attached drive is limited to 12Gb/s.

What physical space must the rack provide for this server?

It is a 2U rackmount unit that occupies two rack units and accepts 12 front 3.5" drive bays.

How are the processors and memory installed, and what step is often missed?

Two Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs and four 8GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMMs are pre-installed; the common oversight is not seating all four DIMMs in the correct slots for quad-channel operation.
