Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting and file or application workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each, 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H330 storage controller. Eight 3.5-inch drive trays support SATA or SAS drives, while dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management complete the platform.

Suited for storage-dense deployments

This server fits teams that need up to 384 GB of memory across 16 DIMM slots and eight hot-swap bays for local capacity. It is not for buyers who require more than two processors, more than eight 3.5-inch bays or a different storage controller. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration, higher single-thread speeds or workstation-class graphics should look elsewhere.

256 GB DDR4 registered ECC memory

The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 memory installed as eight 32 GB modules, leaving eight slots free to reach the 384 GB maximum. This specification determines whether the server can handle your virtualization density or database buffer requirements without an immediate memory upgrade.
