Purpose-built 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, software-defined storage, database management and business-critical workloads. Two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors each run twelve cores at a base frequency of 2.3GHz with a 3.2GHz turbo frequency. One hundred and twenty-eight gigabytes of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory are installed across eight modules.

Suits storage-heavy deployments, not GPU compute

This configuration suits buyers who need dense 3.5-inch drive capacity in a compact 2U form factor. The PERC H330 controller manages SAS and SATA devices across twelve bays. Builders who need a second card, GPU acceleration or front bezel and ready rails included in the package should look at something else.

Dual 750W platinum power supplies

Redundant 750 watt platinum efficiency power supplies deliver the single specification that decides whether this is the right part for a rack with matching power distribution. iDRAC 9 Express provides remote management and dual 1GbE ports handle network connectivity.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R540 provide and how many are filled?

The chassis has twelve 3.5-inch bays and the listing includes twelve drive-bay fillers, so every bay is occupied by a filler unless you replace them with drives.

What does the 128 GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory mean for workload capacity?

Eight 16 GB registered DIMMs give 128 GB of error-correcting memory at 2400 MT/s, supporting virtualisation, databases and other memory-intensive tasks.

What storage speeds does the PERC H330 controller cap in practice?

The PERC H330 is a 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller, so connected SAS or SATA drives are limited to that interface bandwidth.
