Dual Xeon 2U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server fitted with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. It is built for virtualization, database hosting and file serving in a data-centre environment.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Redundant 750 W 80+ Platinum power supplies and hot-swap capability keep the server running during a module failure. The 2U chassis uses intelligent cooling to maintain consistent thermals under continuous multi-core workloads. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides remote monitoring and automation so administrators can manage health without physical access. The HBA330 controller passes SAS and SATA drives through without RAID overhead.

8-Bay 3.5-Inch Storage Limit

Eight 3.5-inch drive trays accept SATA or SAS hard drives but no drives are included. The backplane connects to the HBA330 which operates in pass-through mode only. Buyers who need internal RAID or more than eight bays must add a different controller or external enclosure. Maximum memory capacity reaches 1 TB across 16 DDR4 slots for future expansion.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 750W Platinum supplies draw when the R540 runs continuously with dual Xeon Gold 6130 processors?

Each supply is rated at 750 watts with 80+ Platinum efficiency; actual draw depends on workload but the redundant pair shares the load.

Which drives and cabling must I supply to use the eight 3.5-inch bays and the HBA330 controller?

The server includes eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA trays and the PERC HBA330 12Gb/s pass-through controller; you provide SATA or SAS drives and cables.

Will the integrated dual-port 1GbE network card work with my existing Cat5e patch panel and Gigabit switches?

Yes, the on-board dual-port 1 Gigabit RJ45 card connects over standard copper to any Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure.
