Purpose-built 2U server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server designed for virtualization, software-defined storage, database applications and business-critical workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each providing 10 cores at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory across 16 modules of 32 GB. A PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller manages the internal drive bays.

12-bay 3.5" chassis with SAS/SATA headroom

The chassis provides 12 front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays, populated with Dell EMC 14G PowerEdge drive bay fillers ready for SAS, SATA or solid state drives. The HBA330 controller supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity, giving each bay direct access to the controller bandwidth. Storage capacity scales with the drives you install; the controller and backplane do not impose a lower limit beyond the physical bay count.

Dual 750 W platinum PSUs with iDRAC9 Express

Two 750 Watt platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power for the configured processors, memory and storage controller. Integrated iDRAC 9 Express provides remote monitoring and administration over the network. Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet adapters handle management and workload traffic. The front bezel and ready rails are not included in this configuration.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.2 GHz Xeon Silver 4114 CPUs work with my existing DDR4-2400 ECC registered DIMMs?

Yes, the system runs 512 GB across 16 slots of DDR4-2400 ECC registered memory, so matching DIMMs will operate at the rated speed.

How can I confirm the PERC HBA330 controller is detected and the 12 drive bays are online?

Check the iDRAC 9 Express interface or the BIOS POST screen; both will list the HBA330 and show all 12 bays populated with fillers or drives.

Does the shipment include the front bezel and sliding rails, or must I order them separately?

The front bezel and ready rails are not included; you will need to purchase those accessories separately.
