Dual Xeon Gold 6130 compute

The PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and reaches 3.7 GHz turbo. The system targets virtualization, database hosting and file or application workloads that demand multi-core throughput.

12 Gb/s SAS storage ceiling

Storage connects through a Dell PERC H330 controller limited to 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA links. Eight 3.5-inch 4 TB drives spin at 7.2 K rpm and fill every front bay. Memory tops out at 384 GB across 16 DDR4 slots, so larger datasets must stay on disk or move to external arrays.

Hot-swap power and rails included

Dual 750 W platinum supplies are hot-swappable for continuous uptime. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides out-of-band remote management over a dedicated network port. Ready rails and a front bezel ship with the chassis, so the server mounts in standard racks without extra kits.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 64 GB DDR4 configuration or plan for the 384 GB maximum?

The system ships with 64 GB across four 16 GB DDR4 2666 MHz modules; sixteen slots are available so you can expand up to 384 GB later.

What does the 2.1 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo mean for my workloads?

Each Xeon Gold 6130 runs at 2.1 GHz base and can boost to 3.7 GHz, giving sixteen cores per processor that raise frequency when thermal headroom allows.

How does the PERC H330 controller and SAS interface limit drive performance?

The H330 supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA; the eight installed 4 TB drives spin at 7.2K rpm, so sustained throughput is capped by the mechanical media, not the controller link.
