Dual Xeon Gold 6130 server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 64 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 slots. This configuration targets virtualization, database hosting, and file serving workloads that demand multi-core throughput and memory capacity up to 384 GB.

PERC H330 controller and trays

The integrated Dell PERC H330 storage controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to eight front-accessible 3.5-inch drive trays. No hard drives are installed, so the buyer selects capacity and redundancy to match the workload. The controller supports RAID levels suitable for operating system volumes and bulk data storage without additional hardware.

Redundant 750 W supplies and iDRAC9

Dual hot-swap 750 watt platinum power supplies deliver redundant power for continuous operation. The iDRAC9 Enterprise module enables remote monitoring, firmware updates, and console access over a dedicated management network. Included ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack installation and physical security in standard cabinets.

Questions about this item

How often will the 750 Watt Platinum power supplies need replacement?

Redundant 750 Watt Platinum hot-swap units let you swap a failed supply without downtime; actual replacement interval depends on load and environment.

What thermal limit appears first when both Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs run at 3.7 GHz Turbo continuously?

Dual 16-core processors at sustained Turbo increase chassis heat; the intelligent cooling system ramps fans to keep temperatures within spec.

How much power do the 2x 750 W PSUs draw under full load all day?

Each Platinum-efficiency supply delivers up to 750 watts; total draw varies with CPU, memory and drive activity but stays within the redundant pair capacity.
