Dual 16-core Xeon 6130 server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.10 GHz base frequency with 3.7 GHz turbo. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 32 GB modules, leaving eight additional slots open for expansion up to 1 TB. The system includes a PERC H330 storage controller supporting SATA and SAS drives in eight hot-swap 3.5-inch bays.

Virtualization hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits organizations deploying virtualization clusters, database servers or file and application workloads that benefit from 32 total cores and large memory capacity. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management support continuous operation. Buyers who require more than two sockets, GPU-accelerated compute density or direct-attached PCIe storage backplanes should look elsewhere.

Eight 3.5-inch hot-swap drive bays

The chassis provides eight front-accessible trays for 3.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drives or solid-state drives, with no drives installed. The PERC H330 controller enables RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 configurations plus pass-through mode. Storage capacity and performance scale directly with the drives you populate in these bays.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the PERC H330 12Gb/s controller support for SAS and SATA drives?

The Dell PERC H330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA PCIe storage controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 and pass-through mode for the installed drives.

How many 3.5-inch drive trays are included and what is the maximum drive count the 2U chassis can hold?

Eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap drive trays are included, matching the 8-bay capacity of the 2U rack chassis.

What is the correct order for installing the two Xeon Gold 6130 processors into the LGA 3647 sockets?

Install the first processor in CPU socket 1 before populating CPU socket 2; the system will not boot if only the second socket is filled.
