DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2× Xeon Silver 4114 2.2 GHz 10-core 32 GB DDR4 H330 8× 4 TB SAS 750 W PSU

Dual Xeon Silver 4114 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and ten cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, file serving and business-critical applications in data-centre or edge environments.

Eight 3.5-inch SAS bays and H330 controller

Eight front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays hold 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives providing 32 TB of raw capacity, managed by a Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA storage controller. Sixteen DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 384 GB, so the platform can grow with workload demands without requiring a chassis change. The jump from a single-socket or direct-attached storage server is justified when simultaneous compute threads and redundant hot-swap storage are both required.

Redundant 750 W platinum supplies

Dual hot-swap 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies maintain uptime during a single-unit failure, while intelligent cooling balances airflow across both CPUs and the drive cage under sustained load. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band monitoring, automation and remote administration without OS dependency. The integrated dual-port gigabit adapter handles management and workload traffic on shared or dedicated interfaces.
