2U Rack Server for Virtualisation

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualisation, database hosting and business-critical workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 5118 processors provide 12 cores each at 2.3 GHz with 3.2 GHz turbo. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory and a PERC H740P 8 GB controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits Growing Storage Needs, Not Maximum Density

This server suits organisations that need room for eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives and redundant 750 W platinum power supplies. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote management and automation. Buyers who want higher drive counts in the same rack height or who require installed drives should look at other configurations.

Eight 3.5-Inch Drive Bays with PERC H740P

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 3.5-inch trays for SAS or SATA drives backed by the PERC H740P controller with 8 GB cache and battery. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1 TB across 16 DDR4 slots. Dual 1 GbE ports and included rails and bezel complete the package.
