Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting and business-critical workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors provide 20 cores at 2.20 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo. 64GB DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory and eight 4TB 7.2K SAS drives deliver capacity and reliability. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This server fits teams running multi-threaded applications, file services or virtual machines that benefit from high core counts and large SAS storage arrays. Redundant 750W power supplies and hot-swap bays support continuous operation. Buyers needing GPU compute or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms.

The specification that decides fit

The PERC H730P controller supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with 2GB cache and battery backup. Confirm your workload requires SAS 12Gb/s connectivity and this RAID feature set before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the PERC H730P controller sees all eight 4 TB SAS drives after setup?

Open the controller BIOS during boot or log into iDRAC9 Enterprise; the storage view should list eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS disks and show the RAID array status as optimal.

What ships with the server and what must I source separately?

The box contains the 2U chassis, dual Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs, 64 GB DDR4 ECC memory, H730P 2 GB controller, eight 3.5" 4 TB SAS drives, dual 750 W PSUs, rails, bezel and iDRAC9 Enterprise; an operating system is not included.

Should I choose the 64 GB DDR4 configuration or plan for more memory later?

The system has 16 DIMM slots and supports up to 1 TB; starting with 64 GB (4×16 GB) leaves 12 free slots for future expansion without removing existing modules.
