12-Bay 2U Rack Server with Dual Silver 4210 CPUs

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rackmount server equipped with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2 GHz, and 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. A PERC H740P RAID controller and dual 550 W power supplies come installed. No hard drives are included, allowing the buyer to populate storage as required.

Suits capacity-focused workloads.

This platform fits environments that need large amounts of local hard-disk storage and dual-socket compute, such as backup repositories, file servers, or virtualisation clusters with moderate CPU demand. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, all-flash arrays, or more than two processor sockets should look at a different platform. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Express and a 1 GbE two-port adapter.

12 x 3.5-inch drive bays define the storage ceiling

The chassis provides exactly twelve 3.5-inch SATA bays behind the PERC H740P controller, so the maximum raw capacity is determined by the largest drives you install in those slots. Memory can be expanded to 1 TB across the available DIMM positions. Processor count is fixed at two sockets with the Silver 4210 10-core CPUs already fitted.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 550 W supplies draw when the R540 runs continuously?

The system includes two 550 W power supplies; actual draw depends on workload and configured drives.

Which drives must I supply to use the 12 front 3.5-inch bays?

The bays accept SATA drives; no drives are installed, so you provide the 3.5-inch SATA HDDs or SSDs you need.

Will my existing PERC H740P cables and drive carriers fit this R540?

The server ships with a PERC H740P controller; standard Dell 3.5-inch carriers and cables for that controller are compatible.
