Dell PowerEdge R540 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for growing business and data-center environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz and 16GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory. A PERC HBA330 controller manages the 12 front 3.5-inch drive bays, which are populated with fillers in this configuration. Dual 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the core package.

Ideal for storage-heavy workloads.

This server suits teams running virtualization, databases, or software-defined storage that benefit from dense 3.5-inch drive capacity and dual-socket compute. The integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and PCIe slots support additional networking or storage cards. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than 16GB of memory out of the box, or included rack rails and a front bezel should look at other configurations.

12-bay 3.5-inch chassis with HBA330 controller

The defining specification is the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays backed by a 12Gb/s SAS/SATA HBA330 controller. This layout sets the maximum number of large-form-factor drives the system can hold without adding external enclosures. Verify that your storage plan fits within this bay count and that the HBA330's SAS/SATA interface matches your drive selection before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the HBA330 controller work with the 3.5" SAS drives already installed in my older rack?

The PERC HBA330 12Gb/s SAS/SATA controller supports 12Gb/s and 6Gb/s SAS drives as well as 6Gb/s SATA drives, matching common 3.5" enterprise drives used in earlier PowerEdge generations.

How can I verify both Xeon Gold 6130 processors are active after installation?

During POST the BIOS displays two physical CPUs each with 16 cores at 2.1GHz base and 3.7GHz turbo, and iDRAC9 Express shows both sockets populated in the system inventory.

Does the shipment include the front bezel and rack rails, or do I need to order them separately?

The box contains the 2U chassis with 12x 3.5" drive bay fillers, two 750W platinum PSUs, and the HBA330 card; the front bezel and Ready Rails are not included and must be purchased separately.
