Silver 2U rack server chassis with twelve 3.5 inch drive bay fillers and dual power supplies

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 512GB DDR4 H730P 12x 3.5" fillers 2x 750W

SKU CH-CHB7-E64W8

A 2U rack server with dual 12-core Xeon Gold 5118 processors at 2.3 GHz, 512 GB DDR4 ECC memory, a PERC H730P RAID controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60.

  • Dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs deliver 24 cores at 2.3 GHz base
  • 512 GB DDR4-2400 ECC memory ensures data integrity for critical workloads
  • PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 with battery backup
  • 12-bay 3.5" chassis provides high-capacity SAS and SATA storage density
  • Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Express enable resilient remote management

Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for expanding business and data centre environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 12-core processors running at 2.3GHz with 3.2GHz turbo capability. The system includes 512GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 modules and a PERC H730P storage controller with 2GB cache.

Suited for virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation, software-defined storage, database management and business-critical applications that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The 12 drive bays support SAS and SATA drives for storage-intensive deployments. Buyers who need more than two 1GbE network ports or a different drive bay count should look at other platforms.

Dual Xeon Gold 5118 12-core CPUs

The pair of Xeon Gold 5118 processors provides 24 total cores at 2.3GHz base frequency with 3.2GHz turbo, which determines the compute throughput available for virtual machines, databases and enterprise applications. This specific CPU and core count is the primary factor in deciding whether the server matches the workload requirements.

Questions about this item

When will the H730P RAID controller battery need replacement?

The H730P includes a 2 GB cache backed by a battery that maintains write data during power loss; the battery typically lasts three to five years and should be swapped when iDRAC reports a degraded state.

What limits the two Xeon Gold 5118 processors during continuous all-core workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 5118 runs at a 2.3 GHz base with a 3.2 GHz turbo ceiling; sustained all-core loads settle at the base frequency once the thermal envelope is reached.

How loud and hot does the chassis get with both 750 W power supplies running 24/7?

Dual 750 W platinum supplies share the load, keeping fan speeds moderate; iDRAC 9 Express reports inlet temperature and fan RPM so you can monitor acoustics and heat in real time.
