2U Rack Server with Dual Xeon Gold 6130

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database management and software-defined storage. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 16 cores each at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz Turbo. A total of 128 GB DDR4-2666 ECC memory and a PERC H730P RAID controller support demanding workloads.

Suits growing business and data center environments

This server suits organisations needing high-capacity 3.5-inch storage bays and integrated iDRAC 9 Express remote management. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies deliver redundancy. Buyers who require front bezel or ready rails should source them separately. Builders needing 2.5-inch drive density or GPU compute density should evaluate other platforms.

PERC H730P 2 GB RAID controller

The included PERC H730P controller manages up to 12 SAS or SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Its 2 GB cache and battery backup protect data during power events. This specification determines whether the server meets your storage performance and redundancy requirements.

Questions about this item

Which drives must I supply to populate the twelve 3.5-inch bays on the R540?

The chassis ships with twelve 3.5-inch fillers; you add SAS or SATA hard drives or solid-state drives that match your capacity and performance needs.

Will the PERC H730P controller manage my existing SAS and SATA drives without firmware changes?

The H730P supports SAS and SATA in RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through mode, so current drives are recognised and managed directly.

How do I confirm the iDRAC 9 Express remote management is active after first boot?

Attach a network cable to the dedicated iDRAC port, power on the server, and browse to the IP address shown on the front LCD to reach the login screen.
