Purpose-built 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 ships with 128 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. Eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives are pre-installed behind a PERC H740P controller with 8 GB cache. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, and file-serving workloads that demand dense internal storage and redundant power.

Controller, networking and remote management

The PERC H740P enables RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 plus pass-through mode, backed by a battery to protect cached writes. A dual-port 1 GbE daughter card provides baseline network connectivity. iDRAC 9 Enterprise delivers full out-of-band remote management, including virtual console, power control and automated firmware updates, reducing the need for physical data-centre visits.

Chassis, power and expandability

The 2U chassis holds eight 3.5-inch drive bays, all populated, with hot-swap trays for tool-less drive replacement. Two 750 W 80+ Platinum redundant power supplies share the load and allow one unit to fail without downtime. Sixteen DDR4 slots in total leave eight free for future memory expansion up to 1 TB. Sliding rails and a front bezel are included for standard rack mounting.
