Dual Xeon 4114 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors. Each CPU provides 10 cores running at 2.2 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualization, databases or file services in a standard rack footprint.

HBA330 controller and eight drive trays

A Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller connects to eight front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays. No hard drives are installed, so buyers must supply their own SAS or SATA media. The controller presents drives directly to the operating system without hardware RAID abstraction. Ready Rails and a front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

LGA 3647 platform with 384 GB memory ceiling

The dual LGA 3647 sockets support a maximum of two processors and a total memory capacity of 384 GB. Only DDR4 registered ECC modules are compatible with the 16 available DIMM slots. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy but limit total power draw to the rated output. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and iDRAC9 Enterprise handle network and remote management duties.
