Dual Xeon Gold 6130 Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 16 slots and a PERC H730P storage controller. The chassis holds eight 3.5-inch SAS/SATA drive trays without drives installed, targeting virtualization, database and file-serving workloads.

Sustained Multi-Core Throughput

Dual 16-core CPUs and 64 GB of ECC memory maintain consistent throughput for virtualization hosts and database engines under continuous load. The H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 with a 2 GB cache and battery backup, protecting write performance during extended operations. Redundant 750 W platinum power supplies and hot-swap design keep the system running through component failures.

Enterprise Chassis and Remote Management

The 2U rackmount includes ready rails and a front bezel for standard cabinet installation. Eight front-accessible 3.5-inch trays simplify drive swaps without tools, while dual gigabit Ethernet ports handle management and data traffic. iDRAC 9 Enterprise provides full out-of-band remote control, monitoring and automation for lights-out administration.
