DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2x Xeon Silver 4114 2.2GHz 10-core 256GB DDR4 H730P

Dual Xeon Silver 4114 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.20 GHz with ten cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules. The system includes a PERC H730P 2 GB storage controller and eight 3.5-inch drive trays for SATA or SAS drives.

Virtualisation and Database Hosts

This server suits organisations deploying virtualisation clusters, database engines or file-and-print workloads that benefit from twenty physical cores and large memory capacity. iDRAC9 Enterprise provides full remote management for lights-out operation. Buyers who require GPU compute, Fibre Channel connectivity or more than two processor sockets should evaluate alternative platforms.

PERC H730P RAID Controller

The integrated Dell PERC H730P controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup. It connects to the eight 3.5-inch bays via 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA backplane. This specification determines whether the storage performance and redundancy meet the workload requirements.
