2U rack server with dual Xeon Gold 6130
The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across four 16 GB modules and a PERC H330 storage controller. Eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives are installed in the 3.5-inch drive bays. Dual 750 W 80+ Platinum power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote management.
Suited for virtualization
This server suits organizations running virtualization, database hosting, or file and application services that need high core counts and large SAS capacity. The 16 DIMM slots support up to 1 TB of DDR4 for memory-intensive tasks. Buyers who need PCIe flash storage, GPU acceleration, or a 1U chassis should consider other platforms.
PERC H330 controller with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50
The installed Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PCIe controller manages the eight 4 TB drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and pass-through modes. It determines the storage performance, redundancy options, and maximum array size available without adding another controller.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the dual Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs and 64GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?
Open the iDRAC9 Enterprise interface or enter the system BIOS; both will show two 16-core processors at 2.1GHz and 64GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory.
What ships with the server and what must I source separately?
The unit includes 2× Xeon Gold 6130 processors, 64GB DDR4, PERC H330 controller, 8× 4TB 7.2K SAS drives, dual 1GbE ports, iDRAC9 Enterprise, 2× 750W PSUs, rails and bezel; an operating system is not included.
Which configuration should I choose for a virtualisation host needing maximum internal storage?
This model provides 8× 3.5″ bays populated with 4TB SAS drives and the H330 controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/10/50, giving the highest raw capacity available in this 2U chassis.
