2U Server for Virtualisation & Storage

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database management and software-defined storage. Dual Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 24 cores at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. 512 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC memory and twelve 3.5-inch drive bays deliver high capacity for growing business environments.

Twelve 3.5-Inch Bays with HBA330

This configuration suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch SATA storage behind a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller. Buyers who require 2.5-inch drive density or direct PCIe storage attachment should evaluate alternative platforms. The server includes dual 1 GbE networking and iDRAC 9 Express for remote administration.

Dual 750 Watt Platinum Power Supplies

Redundant 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies support the dual-processor, memory and twelve-drive load. Front bezel and ready rails are not included. Verify rack depth and rail compatibility before deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.3 GHz Xeon Gold 5118 processors and DDR4-2400 memory work with my existing PCIe 3.0 expansion cards?

The server uses Intel Xeon Scalable processors and DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory, which operate on the platform's native PCIe lanes; compatibility depends on the specific card's requirements.

How can I verify the PERC HBA330 controller sees all twelve 4 TB drives after installation?

During POST the HBA330 BIOS will enumerate each 3.5-inch SATA drive; you can also check the iDRAC9 Express storage inventory for all twelve 4 TB 7.2K drives.

Does the shipment include the front bezel and ready rails shown in some product photos?

The manufacturer highlights state that the front bezel and ready rails are not included; you will need to purchase them separately if required for your rack.
