SKU CH-HN1H-0V1PS

A 2U rack server with 12 eight-terabyte drives, 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory and two 10-core Xeon Silver 4114 processors at 2.2 GHz

  • Dual 10-core Xeon 4114 processors deliver strong compute performance
  • 512GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory supports demanding virtualization workloads
  • 12 enterprise 8TB 7.2K SATA drives provide massive storage capacity
  • HBA330 12Gb/s controller enables flexible SAS and SATA connectivity
  • Dual 750W platinum power supplies ensure efficient redundant power

Ready-to-run R540 with dual Xeon 4114 and massive

This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It includes 512 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and a PERC HBA330 controller driving twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the configuration.

Fits virtualization hosts

The twelve-bay chassis and half-terabyte of ECC memory suit consolidation workloads, software-defined storage clusters, and business-critical databases that demand capacity over flash latency. Buyers needing GPU compute, all-flash performance, or single-thread speed should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 8 TB drives behind an HBA330 controller

The PERC HBA330 presents twelve SATA 6 Gb/s spindles to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction, letting ZFS, Ceph, or Windows Storage Spaces manage redundancy directly.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rail kit does the 2U R540 require?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and the listing notes that Ready Rails are not included, so a compatible rail kit must be sourced separately.

How are the 12 × 8 TB 3.5″ drives installed and what step is often missed?

Drives slide into the front 12-bay backplane; the step often missed is ensuring each carrier clicks fully into the SAS/SATA connector so the HBA330 detects every drive.

When will the 750 W platinum power supplies or the 7.2 K RPM drives need replacement?

Platinum PSUs typically run several years before preventive swap; 7.2 K RPM enterprise drives are rated for continuous operation and are replaced on SMART alerts or capacity upgrades.
