Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting and file or application workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors provide 20 cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 128 GB DDR4 ECC memory and eight 4 TB SAS drives on a PERC H740P controller deliver high capacity and RAID flexibility.

Suited for dense storage workloads

This configuration fits teams that need large SAS capacity in a compact 2U form factor with redundant 750 W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management. Buyers who need more drive bays than the eight 3.5-inch slots provided cannot expand internal storage further. Workloads that require memory beyond 384 GB or more than two processors must choose a different platform.

Eight-bay 3.5-inch SAS chassis

The server holds exactly eight 3.5-inch SAS hard drives connected to the H740P controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. This bay count and drive interface are the primary constraints for storage planning.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the R540 chassis occupy?

The chassis occupies 2U of rack height and ships with Ready Rails and a front bezel for standard rack mounting.

How are the Xeon Silver 4114 processors installed, and what step is often missed?

Both processors are pre-installed in the LGA 3647 sockets; the step often missed is applying the correct torque sequence when reseating a CPU after maintenance.

What component of the PERC H740P will need replacement over time?

The 8 GB cache module includes a battery that protects write-back cache during power loss; that battery degrades and should be replaced every few years.
