Dual Xeon 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.20 GHz with a 3.0 GHz turbo frequency and provides 10 cores for parallel workloads. The system ships with 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots. It targets organisations that need dense compute and large memory capacity in a standard rack footprint.

PERC H730P RAID controller with 2 GB cache

The storage subsystem centres on a Dell PERC H730P controller with 2 GB of battery-backed cache. It supports SATA and SAS drives through eight 3.5-inch hot-swap trays and offers RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode. No drives are included, so buyers must supply their own media. The controller’s 12 Gb/s SAS bandwidth matches modern enterprise drive speeds.

Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies

Dual redundant 750 watt platinum-efficiency power supplies keep the server running if one unit fails. Hot-swap capability allows replacement without downtime. Intelligent cooling and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management maintain thermal stability during sustained workloads. The chassis includes ready rails and a front bezel for straightforward rack installation.
