Dell PowerEdge R540 2U dual-processor server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 256 GB of DDR4 memory across 16 slots and eight 4 TB SAS hard drives on a PERC H330 controller. Dual 750 W redundant power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are included.

Suited for virtualization hosts

This configuration fits teams running virtual machines, databases, or file services that benefit from high core counts and 32 TB of raw SAS capacity. Buyers who need more than two processors, memory beyond 1 TB, or a larger drive bay count should evaluate alternative chassis designs. The 7.2 K rotational speed also limits random I/O performance for latency-sensitive datasets.

Eight 3.5-inch SAS bays with PERC H330 RAID

The chassis provides eight hot-swap 3.5-inch bays populated with 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives connected to a Dell PERC H330 controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50. This storage layout determines whether the server matches capacity and redundancy requirements for the intended deployment.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors and 256GB DDR4 memory are detected after powering on the R540?

During POST the System BIOS screen will list two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs at 2.1GHz with 16 cores each and show 256GB of DDR4 2666MHz registered ECC memory across the 16 slots.

Which drives, controller, power supplies and rails ship with the R540 and what must I provide?

The unit includes eight 4TB 7.2K SAS 3.5" drives, a PERC H330 12Gb/s controller, two 750W 80+ Platinum hot-swap PSUs, sliding rails and a front bezel; you must supply an operating system and any additional network cards.

Should I choose the 256GB DDR4 configuration or plan to expand toward the 1TB maximum later?

The server arrives with 256GB (eight 32GB modules) installed in 16 DDR4 slots leaving eight free slots; you can add matching DDR4 registered ECC modules up to the 1TB limit when workloads demand more memory.
