Dual Xeon Silver 4114 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. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 16 DIMM slots and includes a PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. Dual redundant 750 W power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, and ready rails with a front bezel complete the chassis.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database servers, or file and application workloads that benefit from 20 total cores and large memory capacity. The eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays provide internal storage flexibility without pre-installed drives. Buyers who need more than 384 GB of memory or require additional processor sockets should look at larger platforms.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The installed Dell PERC H730P 2 GB controller determines which drive types and RAID levels are supported. It handles SAS and SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Verify that your intended drives and redundancy scheme are compatible with this controller before purchase.
