Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 12 cores each. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Storage is provided by eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives connected to a Dell PERC HBA330 controller in pass-through mode. The system includes redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management.

Suited for virtualisation.

This server suits organisations that need high core counts and large SAS storage capacity in a 2U form factor. The dual 12-core CPUs and 128 GB of DDR4 memory handle virtualisation hosts and database workloads effectively. Buyers who require GPU compute, more than two processor sockets, or faster flash-based storage tiers should consider other platforms.

Storage controller operates in HBA pass-through only

The installed PERC HBA330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity but functions solely as a host bus adapter without hardware RAID capabilities. All eight 3.5-inch drive bays are populated with 4 TB SAS drives. Software RAID or an additional RAID controller is required for array management.
