Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for growing business environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5118 2.3GHz 12-core processors and 16GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory. The PERC H730P controller with 2GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Twelve 3.5-inch drive bay fillers are installed and dual 750W platinum power supplies provide redundancy. iDRAC 9 Express enables remote management.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation, software-defined storage or database applications that need 2U density with redundant power. The dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs deliver 24 total cores for multi-threaded performance. Buyers who need populated drive bays should look elsewhere, as only fillers are included. The 16GB memory capacity limits large-scale virtualisation deployments. Front bezel and ready rails are not included.

PERC H730P RAID controller

The Dell PERC H730P storage controller is the specification that determines storage capability. It provides 2GB non-volatile cache backed by a battery and handles 12Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity. Supported RAID levels are 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. This controller decides whether the server matches your storage redundancy and performance requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack space and rails are needed to mount this 2U PowerEdge R540?

The server occupies 2U of rack height. Ready Rails are not included, so you must supply compatible sliding rails for your rack.

Can the PERC H730P controller manage older SAS or SATA drives I already own?

Yes. The H730P supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60, so existing 3.5″ drives will work in the 12 bays.

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 5118 CPUs and 16GB DDR4-2400 are detected after power-on?

Open the iDRAC9 Express web interface; the System Overview page shows both 12-core processors at 2.3GHz (3.2GHz turbo) and the two 8GB memory modules.
