Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server with 256GB DDR4

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory and eight 4TB SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H330 RAID controller. Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included for enterprise reliability.

Virtualisation and storage workloads on SAS

This server suits organisations running virtualisation, database hosting, or file services that can use the installed 32TB of 7.2K SAS capacity and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, or 50. Buyers who need all-flash performance, GPU compute density, or larger memory footprints should evaluate alternative platforms. The two 1GbE ports may also limit environments that require 10GbE or 25GbE connectivity out of the box.

Eight 3.5-inch SAS bays with PERC H330 controller

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 3.5-inch bays populated with 4TB 7.2K SAS drives connected to a Dell PERC H330 12Gb/s controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50 plus pass-through mode. This storage interface and bay count determine whether the system matches your capacity and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12 Core processors are detected after setup?

Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise web interface and check the System Overview page; it will list both CPUs with 12 cores each running at 2.3 GHz base clock and 3.2 GHz turbo.

What components arrive in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The server ships with 2x 750W 80+ Platinum PSUs, 8x 4TB 7.2K SAS 3.5" drives, 256GB DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory, PERC H330 controller, 2x 1GbE RJ45 ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise, rails and bezel; no operating system is included.

Which memory capacity should I choose if I want to leave room for future expansion?

The system has 16 DDR4 slots with 8x 32GB modules installed for 256GB total; you can add up to 1TB by populating the remaining 8 slots with compatible registered ECC DDR4 modules.
