DELL PowerEdge R540 12 Bay 3.5" 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16 Core 128GB DDR4 H330 2x750W

R540 2U server with dual Xeon Gold 6130

The Dell EMC PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rackmount server system supplied in new condition. It is configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each offering 16 cores at a 2.1 GHz base frequency and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 128 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across eight modules. A PERC H330 SAS/SATA controller manages the twelve 3.5-inch drive bays, which are populated with fillers.

Virtualization and storage workloads suit this

This server targets environments that need balanced compute and high-capacity 3.5-inch storage, such as virtualization clusters, database instances and software-defined storage nodes. Dual 750 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC 9 Express remote management support continuous operation and lights-out administration. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than twelve 3.5-inch drive bays or a different processor core count should evaluate alternative platforms.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays with PERC H330 controller

The storage subsystem provides twelve 3.5-inch bays connected to a Dell PERC H330 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA controller. This combination determines the maximum number of mechanical or solid-state drives the chassis can accept and the RAID levels available without adding an extra controller. Verify that twelve bays and SAS/SATA connectivity match the planned storage layout before purchase.
