Ready-to-run R540 with dual Xeon 4114 and massive
This 2U rack server ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each delivering ten cores at 2.2 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. It includes 512 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across sixteen 32 GB modules and a PERC HBA330 controller driving twelve 8 TB 7.2K SATA 3.5-inch drives. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the configuration.
Fits virtualization hosts
The twelve-bay chassis and half-terabyte of ECC memory suit consolidation workloads, software-defined storage clusters, and business-critical databases that demand capacity over flash latency. Buyers needing GPU compute, all-flash performance, or single-thread speed should evaluate alternative platforms.
Twelve 8 TB drives behind an HBA330 controller
The PERC HBA330 presents twelve SATA 6 Gb/s spindles to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction, letting ZFS, Ceph, or Windows Storage Spaces manage redundancy directly.

Questions about this item
What rack space and rail kit does the 2U R540 require?
The server occupies 2U of rack height and the listing notes that Ready Rails are not included, so a compatible rail kit must be sourced separately.
How are the 12 × 8 TB 3.5″ drives installed and what step is often missed?
Drives slide into the front 12-bay backplane; the step often missed is ensuring each carrier clicks fully into the SAS/SATA connector so the HBA330 detects every drive.
When will the 750 W platinum power supplies or the 7.2 K RPM drives need replacement?
Platinum PSUs typically run several years before preventive swap; 7.2 K RPM enterprise drives are rated for continuous operation and are replaced on SMART alerts or capacity upgrades.
