2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 5118

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack-mounted server system built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and eight 8 TB SAS hard drives managed by a PERC H740P RAID controller.

Suited for virtualization and storage-heavy tasks

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database hosts, or file and application servers that need high capacity SAS storage. The dual processor design and 16 memory slots support memory expansion up to 1 TB. Buyers who require solid-state performance, GPU compute acceleration, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

8 TB SAS drives on H740P controller

The storage subsystem centres on eight 7.2K RPM SAS drives delivering 8 TB each behind a Dell PERC H740P controller with 8 GB cache. The controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. This combination decides whether the server meets capacity and redundancy needs for archival, backup, or transactional workloads.
