Dell PowerEdge R540 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 10-core processors at 2.2 GHz with 3.0 GHz turbo provide 20 total cores. 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory is installed across four slots. Eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives connect through a PERC HBA330 controller.

Suits virtualization and bulk storage.

This configuration suits virtualization hosts, database servers and file repositories that need high capacity on SAS drives. The HBA330 operates in pass-through mode only, so buyers who require hardware RAID levels should look at a different controller or chassis. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

HBA330 pass-through only controller

The storage controller is a Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA adapter running in pass-through mode. It presents each drive directly to the operating system without hardware RAID acceleration. This makes the server ideal for software-defined storage or ZFS pools that manage redundancy in software. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays are populated with 4 TB SAS drives.

Questions about this item

How many 3.5-inch drive bays does the R540 chassis provide for the installed 4 TB SAS disks?

The 2U chassis has eight 3.5-inch bays, all filled with 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives.

What is the noise and heat profile when both 750 W power supplies run continuously?

Dual 750 W 80+ Platinum hot-swap power supplies share the load; iDRAC 9 Enterprise monitors thermal sensors and fan speed to keep acoustics and temperatures controlled.

Which memory type and speed must already be in the server for the installed 32 GB to function?

The system uses DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules in four of its sixteen slots.
