DELL PowerEdge R540 12LFF 2x Xeon Silver 4210 2.2GHz 128GB DDR4 No Drive rack server

Built for dense storage workloads

The Dell PowerEdge R540 12LFF chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and ships with two Xeon Silver 4210 processors at 2.2GHz, each delivering 10 cores and 13.75MB cache. It targets IT teams that need high local capacity in a 2U rack form factor without paying for drives they will replace. Buyers who want a compact 1U server or a GPU-accelerated node should look elsewhere.

PERC H740P RAID controller and iDRAC9 Express

The installed PERC H740P controller manages the twelve SATA bays with hardware RAID, while the iDRAC9 Express licence enables remote power control, console redirection and firmware updates over a dedicated 1GbE port. A dual-port 1GbE 332T adapter provides baseline network connectivity. The server includes no drives, no operating system and no application licences, so storage topology and software stack remain entirely your choice.

Tool-less rails and dual 550W supplies

Two hot-plug 550W power supplies and a tool-less rail kit (available on request) simplify rack mounting and power redundancy. Memory slots use DDR4 ECC registered modules only; other DDR generations will not fit. The 128GB installed across the 24 DIMM slots leaves room to grow toward the 1TB maximum. BIOS and firmware are updated to the latest stable release before shipment, reducing first-boot surprises.
