Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots, a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache, and eight 8 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management complete the configuration.

Suited For Virtualisation

This server suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database hosting, or file and application services that benefit from high core counts and large SAS capacity. Buyers who need faster flash storage, GPU acceleration, or a smaller 1U chassis should consider other platforms. The installed memory of 32 GB may also limit very large virtual machine densities without additional DIMMs.

Eight-Bay 3.5-Inch SAS Storage Capacity

The defining specification is the eight-bay 3.5-inch chassis populated with 8 TB 7.2K SAS drives, delivering 64 TB of raw capacity behind a hardware RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This combination of bay count, drive interface and controller determines whether the system matches your storage performance and redundancy requirements.
