Dual Xeon Gold 6130 16 Core Server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors, each running at 2.1 GHz with 16 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. It includes 128 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across eight 16 GB modules. The system targets virtualization, database hosting, and file or application serving in business-critical environments.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Dual 750 W 80+ Platinum hot-swap power supplies provide redundant power for continuous operation. The PERC H740P controller with 8 GB cache and battery backup maintains RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through performance under heavy I/O. Eight 8 TB 7.2 K SAS drives deliver consistent throughput for data-intensive workloads. iDRAC 9 Enterprise enables remote monitoring and automation without local access.

Build and Connectivity

The 2U chassis supports up to 1 TB of DDR4 across 16 memory slots for future expansion. Dual 1 GbE RJ45 ports on an integrated network daughter card handle standard network traffic. Hot-swap drive bays and redundant power supplies allow component replacement without downtime. Included rack rails and bezel simplify mounting in standard cabinets.
