DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16 Core 128GB DDR4 12x 8TB HDD H730P

Purpose-built 2U server for virtualization

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server configured with two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors running at 2.1GHz with 3.7GHz turbo, providing 16 cores per socket. It includes 128GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across eight 16GB modules. This combination targets businesses running virtualization platforms, database workloads, and software-defined storage in expanding data-center environments.

Storage controller and drive bundle enable large

The system ships with a Dell PERC H730P controller offering 2GB cache and 12Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity with battery-backed write caching. It supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 and pass-through modes. Twelve enterprise-class 8TB 7.2K SATA 6Gb/s 3.5" drives are pre-installed across the 12-bay chassis, delivering high-capacity storage for data-intensive applications.

Verify rack space and management needs before

This unit requires a standard 2U rack opening and operates with dual 750W platinum-efficiency power supplies. Remote administration is handled through iDRAC 9 Express, which provides essential monitoring and control functions. Note that the front bezel and ready rails are not included, so confirm your rack mounting hardware separately. Buyers needing integrated 10GbE networking or additional PCIe expansion cards should review available slots against their requirements.
