Dell PowerEdge R540 2U rack server

This Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It runs dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores each and 256 GB of DDR4 memory. The system includes a PERC H740P controller with 8 GB cache and eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives. Redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise management are standard.

Virtualisation and database hosts

The configuration suits teams running virtualisation clusters, database instances or file and application services that need large SAS capacity and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. Buyers who need more than 384 GB maximum memory or require drive interfaces not listed here should evaluate alternative platforms.

Maximum memory ceiling of 384 GB

The platform supports up to 384 GB across 16 DIMM slots, so the installed 256 GB leaves room for growth within the same chassis. If your workload demands more memory than this ceiling, the R540 cannot meet the requirement.
