Dual 16-core Xeon 2U server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU provides 16 cores at a base frequency of 2.1 GHz and can reach 3.7 GHz turbo. The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory installed across eight 32 GB modules.

Eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays

Storage expansion is handled by a Dell PERC H330 controller that supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA drives. The chassis provides eight hot-swap 3.5-inch trays but no drives are included. Memory capacity can grow to 384 GB using the 16 available DIMM slots.

Dual 750 W platinum power supplies

Redundant hot-swap 750 watt platinum-rated power supplies are fitted as standard. Remote administration is provided by iDRAC 9 Enterprise. The server includes ready rails and a front bezel for rack mounting.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 256GB configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 256GB across 8 slots using 32GB DDR4 2666MHz modules, leaving 8 slots free to reach the 384GB maximum.

What does the 2.1GHz base clock with 3.7GHz turbo mean for actual workloads?

Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 2.1GHz base and can boost to 3.7GHz, giving 32 total cores for parallel tasks and higher single-thread speed when thermal headroom allows.

What storage speeds does the PERC H330 12Gb/s controller cap in practice?

The H330 supports 12Gb/s SAS and SATA links, so each 3.5-inch bay is limited by the drive's own SATA or SAS rating rather than the controller.
