Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server powered by two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, each with 12 cores running at 2.30 GHz. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and ships with eight 8 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management complete the platform.

Ideal for virtualisation.

This configuration suits organisations that need high SAS storage capacity and dual-socket compute in a 2U footprint. The eight 3.5-inch drive bays and hardware RAID support make it a fit for backup targets, media archives or workloads that rely on large sequential throughput. Buyers who require all-flash performance, GPU acceleration, or a 1U form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Storage controller decides RAID flexibility

The PERC H730P 2 GB controller provides hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, enabling resilient arrays across the eight installed SAS drives. Battery-backed cache protects in-flight writes during power loss. If your deployment demands software-defined storage without a hardware RAID layer, a different controller or HBA would be required.
