Target configuration
This Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server populated with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2GHz. Ten cores per CPU and 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory provide a balanced platform for virtualisation, database workloads and general-purpose compute. The 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis supports SATA hard drives through a PERC H740P RAID controller. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Express and dual 550W power supplies are installed.
Fit and alternatives
The system suits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch storage capacity in a standard rack depth and prefer integrated 1GbE networking via the 332T dual-port adapter. Buyers who require more than two sockets, higher single-thread frequency or GPU compute should evaluate alternative platforms. The maximum memory ceiling is 1TB, so workloads that exceed that limit will need a different server class.
Deciding specification
The installed memory is 512GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs with a maximum supported capacity of 1TB. This figure determines whether the server can hold the working set for your applications without further investment.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own 3.5-inch SATA drives for the 12-bay chassis?
Yes, the 12 LFF bays accept 3.5-inch SATA drives which are not included and must be added separately.
Will the PERC H740P RAID controller recognise older SATA drives I already own?
The PERC H740P supports SATA drives so existing 3.5-inch SATA disks can be used in the 12-bay chassis.
How can I confirm the 512 GB DDR4 memory and both Xeon Silver 4210 processors are detected after installation?
Check the iDRAC9 Express interface or the BIOS System Information screen; both will show 512 GB DDR4 and two 10-core CPUs at 2.2 GHz.
