Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server system equipped with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors, each running at 2.2 GHz with 10 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory and a PERC H330 storage controller supporting SATA and SAS drives across eight 3.5-inch hot-swap bays. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management come standard.

Ideal for virtualization and database workloads

This server suits organisations deploying virtualisation, database hosting or file and application services that need scalable 3.5-inch storage and out-of-band management. Buyers requiring installed drives, additional PCIe expansion beyond the integrated controller or a different form factor should evaluate other platforms.

Dual Xeon Silver 4114 10-core CPUs

The system ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors providing 20 total cores at 2.2 GHz base frequency with 3.0 GHz turbo capability. This processor configuration determines the compute capacity available for multi-threaded workloads and virtual machine density.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the dual 750 W power supply setup run under continuous load?

Two 750 W 80+ Platinum units share the load, so each runs at lower utilisation, keeping fan speeds and exhaust heat moderate during all-day operation.

Which drives and cabling must I supply to populate the eight 3.5-inch bays?

The server includes eight 3.5-inch trays and a PERC H330 controller with SATA and SAS ports; you add the actual hard drives and any required cables.

Will my existing DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC modules work alongside the four 16 GB sticks already installed?

Yes, the board has 16 DDR4 slots and supports up to 1 TB, so additional 2666 MHz registered ECC DIMMs can be mixed with the factory memory.
