Dual-socket Xeon 2U server

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 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, file serving and other business-critical workloads that benefit from dual-socket compute density.

Memory headroom to 384 GB

Installed memory sits at 128 GB across 16 DIMM slots, leaving eight slots free for expansion up to the platform maximum of 384 GB. The PERC H330 controller manages eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive trays, though no drives are included. Storage capacity scales with the drives you add, while the controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity for each bay.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-rated power supplies deliver redundancy and efficient power delivery under typical loads. Integrated iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring, automation and administration without requiring physical access. Ready rails and a front bezel are included for straightforward rack installation and airflow management.

Questions about this item

Will the 12-core Xeon 5118 CPUs work with my existing DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory modules?

The server already includes 128GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across 8 slots, leaving 8 additional slots available for expansion up to 384GB total capacity.

How do I verify the PERC H330 controller and both 750W power supplies are functioning correctly after installation?

Use iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management to monitor controller status, power supply redundancy, and system health indicators without needing physical access to the rack.

Which drive trays and rails are included, and do I need to purchase drives or caddies separately?

Eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays and ready rails are included; no hard drives are installed, so you must supply your own SAS or SATA drives.
