PowerEdge R540 dual Xeon server
The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors running at 2.2GHz. Each CPU provides 10 cores and 13.75 MB of cache for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. It is aimed at organisations that need dense compute and memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.
Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H740P
The chassis supports up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives which are not included and must be sourced separately. A Dell PERC H740P RAID controller manages the storage array and provides hardware RAID levels. Dual 750W power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation. Remote management is handled by iDRAC9 Express for out-of-band monitoring and control.
Dual 750W supplies and integrated graphics
Two R720 750W power supplies share the load and keep the system running if one unit fails. Video output uses integrated graphics rather than a discrete GPU. The server includes a 1Gb two-port 332T Ethernet adapter for network connectivity. Dimensions are 36 by 24 by 10 inches and the unit weighs 40 pounds.

Questions about this item
What sustained-load limit will the dual Xeon Silver 4210 processors hit first in this chassis?
The two Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs each run at 2.2GHz with 10 cores, and the R540 8LFF chassis is validated for a maximum of two processors.
How much fan noise and heat should I expect once the server runs all day with the installed parts?
Dual 750-watt power supplies and the PERC H740P RAID controller share the 36 x 24 x 10 inch airflow path, and the system weighs 40 units.
Which components must I already own before this server can boot and serve storage?
No hard drives are installed, so you must supply up to eight 3.5-inch SATA drives and a rail kit if you plan to rack-mount the 2U unit.
