DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16C 64GB DDR4 8x 8TB SAS

2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 6130

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting and file serving. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four slots. Eight 8 TB 7.2K SAS hard drives provide 64 TB of raw storage managed by a PERC H330 controller. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Enterprise remote management complete the package.

Suits storage-heavy workloads.

This configuration fits organisations that need dense 3.5-inch SAS capacity in a 2U form factor. The eight-bay chassis and H330 RAID controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 for redundancy or throughput. Buyers requiring GPU acceleration, 10 Gigabit Ethernet or faster networking, or more than two processor sockets should evaluate other platforms. The installed 64 GB RAM uses only four of sixteen DIMM slots, leaving room for expansion up to 1 TB.

Eight 8 TB SAS drives deliver 64 TB raw capacity

The single specification that defines this server's fit is the storage subsystem: eight enterprise 8 TB 7.2K SAS drives behind a 12 Gb/s PERC H330 controller. This yields 64 TB of raw capacity in a 2U rack height with hot-swap bays. If your workload demands that exact blend of high-capacity SAS storage, dual-socket Xeon compute and redundant power in a 2U depth, this unit matches the requirement.
