DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 12 bay 3.5" 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16 core 512GB DDR4 HBA330 2x 750W

Dual Xeon Gold 6130 2U Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built for virtualization, database workloads and software-defined storage in growing business environments. Two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors provide 32 cores at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo for demanding compute tasks. 512GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory supports large memory footprints. The PERC HBA330 controller manages up to 12 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. Redundant 750W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Express remote management complete the enterprise feature set.

Verify Rack Depth and Network Needs

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that power distribution units can supply two 750W connections. The system ships with dual-port gigabit Ethernet only; plan additional network adapters if higher throughput or extra ports are required. No front bezel or ready rails are included, so budget for mounting hardware separately. The HBA330 provides host bus adapter functionality without hardware RAID; verify your operating system or software stack handles software RAID or JBOD configurations.

Fillers and Management Included

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bay fillers are supplied to maintain proper airflow when bays are empty. iDRAC9 Express enables remote power control, hardware monitoring and virtual console access over a dedicated management port. Dual platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundancy without extra licensing. The integrated gigabit adapter handles basic connectivity out of the box. Additional storage controllers, networking cards or GPU accelerators require available PCIe slots and separate procurement.
