Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors, 64GB of DDR4 memory and eight 8TB SAS hard drives. The system includes a PERC H330 storage controller and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management. Redundant 750W power supplies and sliding rails are installed.

Suits virtualization, databases and file serving

This configuration fits teams that need large-capacity SAS storage and dual-processor compute in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require more than two processors, more than 1TB of memory or drive interfaces other than SAS and SATA should look at other platforms. The installed H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 for local redundancy.

64TB raw SAS storage in eight bays

The server provides 64TB of raw capacity across eight 3.5-inch 7.2K SAS drives connected to a 12Gb/s PERC H330 controller. This single specification determines whether the storage density and throughput match the workload. Expandability is limited to the eight installed bays and the two available processor sockets.
