Versatile 2U rack server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database hosting, file and application servers. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors deliver 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 256GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory is installed across 8 slots.

Redundant 750W platinum supplies

Redundant hot-swap 750 watt platinum efficiency power supplies maintain uptime during a unit failure. Intelligent cooling manages thermals across the 2U chassis under sustained multi-core loads. The LGA 3647 socket design supports the installed dual-processor configuration at maximum capacity.

PERC H740P RAID controller

The Dell PERC H740P controller provides 8GB cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 plus pass-through for 8x 3.5 inch SAS/SATA trays. iDRAC9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring, automation and administration without an OS. Ready rails and front bezel are included for immediate rack mounting.

Questions about this item

How do I install the H740P controller and the step often missed?

Seat the PERC H740P in the dedicated internal slot and connect its battery backup module; the step often missed is enabling the controller BIOS so the RAID volumes appear at boot.

What maintenance will the H740P battery need later?

The H740P 8GB cache battery is a field-replaceable unit; plan to swap it every 3 to 5 years to keep write-back caching active.

What limit appears first under sustained load?

With 256 GB DDR4 installed across 16 slots, the 384 GB memory ceiling is reached before the dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors hit their thermal throttle point.
