Dual Xeon Silver 4114 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. Each CPU provides 10 cores for a total of 20 cores across the system. It comes with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory installed across 8 of the 16 available slots. The server includes an integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter and iDRAC 9 Enterprise for remote management.

Virtualisation and database hosts needing dense

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database workloads or file servers that benefit from eight 3.5-inch drive bays. The eight installed 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives deliver high capacity for bulk data. Buyers who need faster random I/O for transactional databases or all-flash arrays should consider a different storage layout. Workloads requiring more than two processors or GPU acceleration are not supported by this chassis.

PERC H730P controller

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller with 2 GB of cache and a battery backup unit. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. Eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives are factory-installed in the 3.5-inch bays. The maximum memory capacity of the platform is 384 GB across 16 DIMM slots.

Questions about this item

Will the 2U R540 fit in the same rack as my older 1U servers?

The R540 uses 2U of rack height and includes ready rails for standard racks, so it can sit above or below your 1U units without modification.

How can I confirm the PERC H730P controller sees all eight 4TB SAS drives after installation?

During POST the controller BIOS lists each detected drive, and iDRAC 9 Enterprise shows the full 8-drive array with capacity and health status in its storage overview.

Do the box contents include the bezel and rails, or must I order them separately?

The front bezel and ready rails are included in the shipment, so no separate purchase is needed for rack mounting or cosmetic coverage.
