Silver 2U rack server with twelve 3.5-inch drive bays and front bezel removed

DELL

DELL PowerEdge R540 rack server 2x Xeon Gold 6130 16-core 2.1GHz 32GB DDR4 12x 4TB SATA HBA330 2x 750W

SKU CH-DW0X-18N4K

A 2U rack server with dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs, 32GB DDR4, and twelve 4TB SATA drives on an HBA330 controller

  • Dual 16-core Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs deliver high multi-threaded performance
  • 1 GHz base with 3.7 GHz turbo accelerates demanding workloads
  • 32 GB DDR4-2666 ECC memory protects data integrity
  • 12-bay 3.5" chassis holds twelve 4 TB 7.2K SATA drives
  • HBA330 controller plus dual 750 W platinum supplies ensure storage and power reliability

Dual 16-core Xeon 6130 server

The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a 2U rack server built around two Intel Xeon Gold 6130 processors. Each CPU provides 16 cores at 2.1 GHz with a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR4-2666 ECC registered memory across four modules. It is suited for virtualization, database and software-defined storage workloads in growing business environments.

Platinum 750 W dual supply thermals

Two 750 W platinum-efficiency power supplies deliver redundant power to the chassis. The 2U form factor accommodates twelve 3.5-inch drive bays populated with 7.2 K RPM enterprise SATA drives. Integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet and the PERC HBA330 controller handle I/O without adding discrete cards that would increase airflow demand.

Twelve-bay 3.5-inch storage density

The HBA330 controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS/SATA connectivity to all twelve bays, leaving PCIe slots free for additional networking or acceleration cards. iDRAC 9 Express enables remote monitoring and administration without a local console. The server arrives without front bezel or ready rails, so rack mounting hardware must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 12x 3.5" drives and what step is commonly missed?

Slide each 4TB 7.2K SATA drive into the front 12-bay chassis until the carrier locks; the step often missed is confirming the HBA330 detects all 12 drives in its BIOS before OS installation.

Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?

The 12x 4TB 7.2K SATA hard drives and the 2x 750W platinum power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units that typically reach end of life before the Xeon Gold 6130 CPUs or DDR4-2666 memory.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both 16-core 2.1GHz Xeons sustain 3.7GHz turbo under full load?

The dual 750W platinum PSUs set the power ceiling; sustained 3.7GHz turbo on all 32 cores can exceed their combined output, triggering throttling before the 2U cooling reaches its limit.
