Dual Xeon Silver 4114 2U Server
The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 10 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules. This configuration targets virtualization, database hosting and file-serving workloads that need multi-threaded compute and enterprise-grade reliability.
32 TB SAS Storage with H330 RAID
Eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives provide 32 TB of raw capacity managed by the Dell PERC H330 controller, which supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 plus pass-through mode. The 12 Gb/s SAS backplane delivers consistent throughput for sequential workloads, while the 7.2K spindle speed limits random IOPS compared with faster drives or solid-state media. The 16 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 1 TB for larger datasets.
iDRAC9 Enterprise and Dual 750 W PSUs
Remote management is handled by iDRAC 9 Enterprise, enabling out-of-band monitoring, automation and firmware updates over a dedicated network interface. Two 750 W 80+ Platinum hot-swap power supplies provide full redundancy. The dual-port 1 GbE daughter card offers baseline connectivity; environments requiring 10 GbE or fibre-channel will need additional PCIe adapters.

Questions about this item
Can the existing DDR4 2666MHz ECC modules stay when adding memory to the 16 available slots?
The server has 16 DDR4 slots and currently holds 4x 8GB modules at 2666MHz; any added sticks must match DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC to work alongside the installed memory.
How do I confirm the H330 controller sees all eight 4TB SAS drives after first boot?
Open the PERC H330 BIOS utility during POST or check iDRAC9 Enterprise storage inventory — both will list each 7.2K SAS drive and its RAID status.
Which items ship inside the box and what must be sourced separately?
The shipment includes the 2U chassis, dual Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs, 32GB DDR4, H330 controller, eight 4TB SAS drives, dual 750W PSUs, iDRAC9 Enterprise, rails and bezel; an operating system is not included.
