DELL PowerEdge R540 2U rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 2.1GHz 16C 64GB 8x 4TB SAS HBA330 iDRAC9 2x 750W

Dual Xeon Gold 6130 2U 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. It includes 64 GB of DDR4 ECC memory across 16 slots, supporting up to 384 GB total. This configuration targets virtualization, database hosting, and file-server workloads that need high core counts and large memory capacity in a compact rack form factor.

SAS HBA330 8-bay storage limits

Storage is handled by a Dell PERC HBA330 controller providing 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA connectivity to eight 3.5-inch drive bays. The system ships with eight 4 TB 7.2K SAS drives installed. The HBA330 operates in pass-through mode without hardware RAID, so data protection relies on software RAID or application-level redundancy. Maximum internal raw capacity is constrained by the eight-bay chassis and the 3.5-inch form factor.

Redundant 750 W PSUs iDRAC9 rails

Twin 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver hot-swap redundancy for continuous uptime. The integrated iDRAC9 Enterprise controller enables full remote management, monitoring, and automation over a dedicated network interface. Included ready rails and a front bezel simplify rack mounting and physical security. Dual embedded Gigabit Ethernet ports provide baseline network connectivity for management and workload traffic.
