Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, 256GB of DDR4 ECC memory, and eight 8TB SAS drives behind a PERC H740P controller. Redundant 750W power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise management are included.

Suited for virtualization

This configuration targets teams that need large, redundant storage pools and dual-socket compute in a 2U form factor. Buyers who require only a single processor, less memory, or fewer drive bays should evaluate smaller platforms.

Eight 8TB 7.2K SAS drives on a PERC H740P controller

The storage subsystem delivers 64TB of raw capacity across eight 3.5-inch drives with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support. This density decides whether the R540 meets the capacity and throughput requirements of the intended workload.
