Dell PowerEdge R540 2U rack server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four modules and a Dell PERC H730P storage controller with 2 GB cache. The chassis provides eight 3.5-inch drive trays for SATA or SAS drives and includes dual 750 W redundant power supplies, iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management, and dual 1 GbE network ports.

Suitable for virtualisation and database workloads

This server suits organisations that need a dense two-socket platform for virtualisation, database hosting, or file and application serving with room for eight large-capacity hard drives. Buyers who need more than two processors or more than 1 TB of memory should consider larger platforms. The eight-bay chassis does not support 2.5-inch drive configurations or additional PCIe expansion beyond the integrated controller and network card.

PERC H730P controller with 2 GB cache

The Dell PERC H730P 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA PCIe controller with 2 GB battery-backed cache determines the RAID capabilities and drive connectivity. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes for the eight 3.5-inch bays. Verify that your desired drive type and RAID level are compatible with this controller before purchase.

Questions about this item

What rack height does the 2U chassis require?

The server occupies 2U of vertical space in a standard rack enclosure.

How are the Xeon Gold 6130 processors installed in the LGA 3647 sockets?

Both processors come pre-installed; the step often missed is seating the heat-sink retention clips evenly before tightening.

When will the PERC H730P 2GB controller battery need replacement?

The onboard battery typically lasts several years; plan replacement when iDRAC 9 Enterprise reports a degraded or failed battery status.
