Dual Xeon 10-core 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and ten cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across sixteen slots, supporting up to 384 GB total. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, and file or application serving in business-critical environments.

SAS HBA330 storage limits

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC HBA330 controller providing 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to eight 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives. The HBA330 operates in HBA mode without hardware RAID, so data protection relies on software RAID or the operating system. Maximum internal capacity is constrained by the eight-bay chassis and the 384 GB memory ceiling for caching workloads.

Redundant platinum power and rails

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The LGA 3647 socket design and two-processor maximum mean no further CPU upgrades are possible beyond the installed pair. Included ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack mounting, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management without physical access.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5" chassis or a different drive-count configuration?

This unit ships with the 8-bay 3.5" chassis populated by eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives, giving 32 TB raw capacity in a 2U form factor.

What does the 2.2 GHz base / 3.0 GHz turbo rating mean for actual workload throughput?

Each of the two Xeon Silver 4114 processors runs ten cores at 2.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz, delivering 20 total threads for multi-threaded applications.

How does the HBA330 controller's 12 Gb/s SAS interface limit drive performance?

The PERC HBA330 connects each 12 Gb/s SAS drive at full controller speed, so the 7.2K spindles rather than the bus set the throughput ceiling.
