Capacity and Compute

This Dell PowerEdge R540 2U rack server is equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo across 12 cores each. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory configured as sixteen 32 GB modules. A PERC HBA330 controller manages twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch hard drives for high-density storage.

Suitable Workloads and Limits

The server suits organisations deploying virtualisation, database platforms or software-defined storage that need large capacity in a 2U form factor. The HBA330 provides non-RAID connectivity only, so builders who require hardware RAID levels should look elsewhere. Remote management is limited to iDRAC9 Express features, and the chassis ships without front bezel or ready rails.

Storage Controller Interface

The PERC HBA330 delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA host-bus adapter functionality without on-board RAID processing. This specification determines whether the twelve drive bays can present hardware redundancy or must rely on software RAID or external controllers.

Questions about this item

How much heat do the two 750 Watt PSUs produce when the server runs continuously?

Each power supply is rated at 750 Watt Platinum efficiency, so most input power is converted to useful output and excess heat is minimised during all-day operation.

Which rails or mounting kit must I already have to install this 2U chassis in a standard rack?

The front bezel and ready rails are not included, so you will need compatible Dell ready rails or a third-party 2U sliding rail kit to secure the server.

Can the HBA330 controller manage the existing 8 TB SATA drives together with older SAS disks I keep?

The HBA330 supports both 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA, so the twelve 8 TB SATA drives and any legacy SAS drives can be connected to the same controller.
