Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 memory and eight 3.5-inch 4 TB SAS drives connected to a PERC H730P controller.

Suits virtualisation, databases and file serving

This configuration suits workloads that benefit from high core counts and large SAS capacity such as virtualisation hosts, database servers and file storage. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory, more than two processors, or a chassis larger than 2U should evaluate alternative platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4114 10-core CPUs

The decisive specification is the pair of Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors delivering 20 total cores at 2.2 GHz base clock. This CPU configuration determines the server's compute ceiling and drives licensing costs for per-core software, making it the primary factor in purchase decisions.

Questions about this item

Does the server come with the rails needed to mount it in a standard rack?

Yes, the 2U chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for immediate rack installation.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage the eight 4 TB SAS drives together with any SATA drives I might add later?

The H730P supports both SAS and SATA drives and offers RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across all installed disks.

How can I verify that both Xeon Silver 4114 processors and all 64 GB of DDR4 memory are recognised after power-on?

Check the iDRAC 9 Enterprise dashboard or the BIOS POST screen; both will list each 10-core CPU and the total 64 GB of registered ECC memory.
