Dell PowerEdge R540 5115/8G/600G SAS 10K/2*1GE/H330/DVD/495W/3.5-8 Server is a rackmount system designed for demanding business environments. It supports Intel Xeon Scalable processors with a socket that meets the LGA 4189 specifications and offers flexible CPU scalability in both 1P and 2P configurations. The server uses ECC DDR4 memory—configured in up to 16 slots—to meet enterprise performance and reliability requirements, and its expansion options include three PCIe 3.0 slots for additional connectivity and functionality.
Built with eight 3.5-inch hot‐swap drive bays supporting high-performance SAS HDDs (including a 600GB 10K drive in this configuration), the system comes equipped with a Dell H330 RAID controller that offers RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 protection. Two integrated 1GbE network interfaces, a 500W-equivalent (495W nominal) single power supply, active cooling, and embedded iDRAC remote management ensure enterprise‑grade reliability. This server is well suited for deployment in data centers, virtualization environments, file-server roles, and application server applications.
