Dual-socket Xeon Silver 4114 server

The DELL PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.20 GHz with 10 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system is built for virtualization, database hosting and file serving in business-critical environments. Maximum processor count is two and maximum memory capacity is 1 TB across 16 slots.

Redundant 750 W power and 8-bay SAS storage

Dual hot-swap 750 W 80+ Platinum power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation. The chassis holds eight 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 8 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives connected to a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller operating in pass-through mode. An integrated dual-port network daughter card supplies two 1 Gigabit RJ45 ports for network connectivity. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring, automation and administration.

Rails bezel and iDRAC Enterprise included

Sliding rails and a front bezel are supplied for straightforward rack mounting. The iDRAC 9 Enterprise licence unlocks full remote management capabilities including virtual console, power control and hardware inventory. No operating system is installed, allowing deployment of the preferred hypervisor or OS. The configuration targets organisations needing dense SAS storage and out-of-band management in a 2U form factor.

Questions about this item

What throughput does the HBA330 controller cap at for the SAS drives?

The Dell PERC HBA330 controller runs at 12 Gb/s SAS pass-through, so the eight 8 TB 7.2K drives are limited to that link speed.

What rack depth and mounting hardware does the 2U chassis require?

The server ships with ready-to-install rails and a front bezel; it fits a standard 2U rack opening and needs two adjacent 1U spaces.

How do I install the server and enable remote management, and what step is often missed?

Mount the unit with the supplied rails, connect power to both 750 W PSUs, attach network cables to the dual 1 GbE ports, then configure iDRAC9 Enterprise for remote access — skipping the iDRAC network setup is the common oversight.
