Built for virtualisation and database workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2GHz with 3.0GHz turbo across 10 cores each. It ships with 256GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory in eight 32GB modules and a PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache. Twelve 8TB 7.2K SAS drives provide high-capacity storage for virtualisation, databases and software-defined storage.

Verify rack space and network needs

This server occupies 2U of rack height and uses 3.5-inch drive bays; confirm your cabinet depth and rail kit compatibility before ordering. Dual 1GbE ports are integrated for management and workload traffic. The H730P supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through; plan your array layout and spare-drive strategy in advance. Front bezel and ready rails are not included.

Dual 750W platinum supplies handle peak load

Two 750 Watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for the dual-CPU configuration, 256GB memory and twelve spinning drives under typical database or virtualisation loads. The 2U chassis directs airflow across the processors, memory and drive bays; fan speed ramps with inlet temperature and workload intensity. iDRAC 9 Express provides remote thermal monitoring and alerting without requiring an operating system.
