Dell PowerEdge R540 8LFF dual Xeon server

This 2U rack system ships with two Intel Xeon Silver 4210 processors at 2.2 GHz and 128 GB of DDR4 memory. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays and a PERC H740P RAID controller provide flexible local storage capacity. iDRAC9 Express gives remote management access out of the box.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense local

Buyers who need GPU compute, all-flash arrays or more than two sockets should look elsewhere. Organisations without rack infrastructure or requiring single-thread speed above 2.2 GHz will find better fits.

Eight 3.5-inch bays with PERC H740P RAID

The chassis supports up to eight SATA drives managed by the hardware RAID controller. This density decides whether the server matches your storage layout or whether a smaller or larger chassis is required.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8-bay 3.5" chassis or a smaller drive count for this R540?

The R540 chassis here supports up to eight 3.5" SATA bays, so the 8LFF version gives you the maximum internal capacity this model allows.

What does the 2.2 GHz figure mean once the two Xeon Silver 4210 CPUs are under load?

Each Xeon Silver 4210 runs at 2.2 GHz base with 10 cores, so the pair delivers 20 cores at that frequency before any turbo uplift.

How does the PERC H740P controller limit the storage interface in practice?

The PERC H740P connects to the backplane over SATA, so every installed drive is limited to the SATA interface speed the controller presents.
