Dual Xeon Silver 4114 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.20 GHz with ten cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and eight 3.5-inch drive trays for SATA or SAS drives.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This server suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database engines or file-and-print workloads that benefit from twenty physical cores and large memory capacity. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management for lights-out operation. Buyers who require GPU compute, Fibre Channel connectivity or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The integrated Dell PERC H730P controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup. It connects to the eight 3.5-inch bays via 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane. This specification determines whether the storage performance and redundancy meet the workload requirements.

Questions about this item

What storage controller interface and speed does the PERC H730P provide?

The Dell PERC H730P controller delivers 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity over a PCIe link with a 2GB cache battery.

How many 3.5-inch drive trays are included, and what drive types do they accept?

Eight Dell 3.5-inch trays are supplied, each accepting SAS or SATA hard drives.

What steps are required to install the server into a rack, and what is commonly missed?

Mount the included sliding rails to the rack, then slide the 2U chassis into the rails and secure the front bezel; the step often missed is fully engaging the rail locking tabs before loading the server.
