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 Gold 5118 processors at 2.30 GHz with 12 cores each. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots. Eight 8 TB 7.2K SAS drives and a PERC H740P controller provide 64 TB of raw storage.

Suited for virtualization and database hosts

This server fits teams running virtualization clusters, database instances or file and application services that need high core counts and large SAS capacity. Two 1 GbE ports and iDRAC 9 Enterprise simplify remote management. Buyers needing higher networking throughput or GPU compute trays will need a different chassis.

Storage controller decides RAID options

The PERC H740P with 8 GB cache supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. It handles 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives and includes a battery-backed cache. If your workload requires a different RAID feature set or controller interface, this unit will not match.
