Versatile 2U rack server for growing businesses

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rackmount system designed for virtualization, database management and software-defined storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors running at 2.3GHz with 3.2GHz turbo capability across 24 total cores. The platform includes 64GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory and a PERC H330 storage controller.

Suited for storage-heavy workloads

This configuration suits organizations that require twelve 3.5-inch drive bays for high-capacity SAS or SATA drives and integrated iDRAC9 Express for remote administration. Buyers needing front bezel or ready rails included, or those requiring PCIe add-in cards beyond the standard configuration, should verify compatibility before purchase.
