Dual-socket Xeon 2U server for virtualization
The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors. Each CPU provides ten cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. It targets organizations running virtualization, database hosting, or file and application services.
16 DIMM slots supporting up to 1 TB of DDR4
Memory capacity is the decisive specification for this platform. The server populates eight of sixteen available slots, leaving room to scale to the maximum 1 TB limit using DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules. Buyers who need more memory than 1 TB or who require a different memory generation should evaluate alternative platforms.
PERC H330 controller with eight 3.5-inch trays
The bundled PERC H330 storage controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50 across eight hot-swap 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays. No drives are included, so storage must be sourced separately. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides comprehensive remote management, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies and sliding rails complete the deployment kit.
