Purpose-built 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 and a 3.2 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules and eight 3.5-inch 4 TB SAS hard drives spinning at 7.2K RPM. The system targets virtualization, database hosting and file or application serving in business-critical environments.

Storage and management integration

A Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller manages the eight drive bays, providing direct access to the installed SAS disks without RAID abstraction. The integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter handles network connectivity, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring, automation and administration over a dedicated management interface. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for straightforward rack mounting.

Redundant power and cooling

Redundant hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies maintain uptime during a single-unit failure and reduce operating costs through high-efficiency conversion. Intelligent cooling fans adjust speed based on real-time thermal sensors, keeping the dual 12-core CPUs and dense drive population within safe limits while minimising acoustic output in typical data-centre deployments.
