Dual-socket Xeon server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.10 GHz with 16 cores each. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across four modules. The PERC H330 controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 support for up to eight 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives. Dual 1 GbE ports and iDRAC9 Enterprise handle networking and remote management.

Tool-less rail mounting

The chassis includes sliding rails and a front bezel for standard rack installation. Eight drive trays slide into the front without tools and support hot-swap replacement. Both 750 W power supplies are hot-swappable and 80+ Platinum rated for redundancy. Memory slots and PCIe cards are accessible after removing the top cover; cable routing follows Dell’s numbered guides to avoid airflow blockage.

Consistent throughput under sustained

Dual Gold 6130 CPUs maintain 2.10 GHz base frequency across all 32 cores during extended compute tasks. Turbo reaches 3.7 GHz when thermal headroom allows. The 80+ Platinum supplies deliver stable power with minimal ripple at high utilisation. iDRAC9 telemetry provides real-time thermal and power data so administrators can balance workloads before throttling occurs.
