12-Bay 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rackmount server system built for growing business environments. It ships with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency and 16 cores total. The chassis holds twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 4 TB enterprise SATA hard drives spinning at 7.2K RPM. A PERC HBA330 controller manages the storage array, while dual 750 W platinum power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualisation and database workloads

This configuration targets organisations running virtualisation, software-defined storage or database applications that benefit from high core counts and large raw capacity. The integrated dual-port Gigabit adapter and iDRAC 9 Express handle essential connectivity and remote management. Buyers needing faster flash storage, additional PCIe add-in cards or a front bezel with ready rails should evaluate other configurations.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define capacity

The twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis sets the physical limit for internal storage expansion on this unit. With the included 4 TB drives installed, the server delivers substantial capacity for bulk data workloads. Any increase beyond the current drive count requires external enclosures or a different server platform.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the two Xeon Gold 6130 processors are running at 2.1 GHz with turbo up to 3.7 GHz after installation?

Check the processor frequency in the iDRAC 9 Express hardware inventory or BIOS system information; both CPUs should report 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo speeds.

Which items from the supplier title are included and which must be purchased separately?

The server includes 2x Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 16 GB DDR4-2666 ECC RDIMM, PERC HBA330 controller, 12x 4 TB 7.2K SATA HDDs, dual 1 GbE ports, iDRAC 9 Express, and 2x 750 W PSUs; front bezel and Ready Rails are not included.

Should I choose the 12-bay 3.5" model with 12x 4 TB HDDs or a different drive configuration for maximum capacity?

The 12-bay 3.5" chassis filled with 12x 4 TB drives provides the highest raw capacity available in this configuration; no larger drive size or bay count is listed.
