Versatile 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting, file serving and business-critical applications. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Silver 4114 processors running at 2.2GHz with a 3.0GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 256GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32GB modules. It targets IT teams needing scalable compute and storage in a compact form factor.

Dual CPU headroom and storage capacity

Two 10-core Xeon processors provide 20 total cores for multi-threaded workloads and virtualization density. Memory can scale to 1TB across 16 DIMM slots, leaving room for growth beyond the installed 256GB. Eight 3.5-inch 4TB SAS drives deliver 32TB raw capacity at 7.2K RPM. The PERC H330 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 for redundancy or performance tuning.

Management and power redundancy included

iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring, automation and administration without an operating system installed. Dual 750W 80+ Platinum hot-swap power supplies provide full redundancy for continuous uptime. The integrated dual-port 1GbE network daughter card handles baseline connectivity. Sliding rails and a front bezel are supplied for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.2 GHz Xeon Silver 4114 processors fit in my existing LGA 3647 motherboard?

Yes, each Silver 4114 uses the LGA 3647 socket, so they are physically compatible with any board wired for that socket.

How can I confirm the PERC H330 controller sees all eight 4 TB SAS drives at 12 Gb/s after installation?

Open the controller BIOS or iDRAC 9 Enterprise storage view; it lists every detected drive with its negotiated link speed.

Does the shipment include the 750 W platinum power supplies, sliding rails and front bezel, or must I order them separately?

Both 750 W 80+ Platinum PSUs, the rack rails and the front bezel are already installed in the 2U chassis.
