DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server

The DELL PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for data-intensive workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 32 cores at 2.1 GHz with 3.7 GHz turbo. 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory supports virtualization and database tasks. Eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives deliver 32 TB of raw storage capacity.

Suits virtualization and storage-heavy applications

This configuration fits organizations needing high core counts and large SAS capacity in a 2U form factor. The HBA330 controller operates in pass-through mode only, so buyers who want hardware RAID should look elsewhere. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables full remote management for distributed deployments. Maximum memory reaches 1 TB across 16 slots for future growth.

Storage controller is Dell PERC HBA330 pass-through

The Dell PERC HBA330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller provides direct drive access without RAID functions. Eight 3.5-inch drive bays are populated with enterprise 4 TB 7.2K SAS disks. Dual 750 W 80+ Platinum power supplies deliver redundant hot-swap power. Dual 1 GbE RJ45 ports handle network connectivity.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum number of processors this R540 can support?

The system board supports a maximum of two processors and both sockets are already populated with Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs.

How much power does each supply draw when the server runs continuously?

Two redundant 750 W platinum-rated power supplies are installed; each unit shares the load during all-day operation.

Which operating system must I provide because none is included?

The server ships with no operating system, so you must supply your own OS licences and installation media.
