DELL OptiPlex 7040 SFF desktop PC i5 6500 3.2 GHz 16GB DDR4 2TB HDD

DELL OptiPlex 7040 SFF business desktop

The DELL OptiPlex 7040 is a small-form-factor business desktop built around a 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache. It comes with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA hard drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives up to three displays via two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port. The system ships with a fresh, activated installation of Windows 10 Home and includes a genuine Microsoft COA sticker.

Bundled software and accessories

A genuine Windows 10 Home licence is pre-installed and activated, so the machine is ready for immediate deployment without additional media. The supplier also notes a Windows 11 Pro upgrade path is available for organisations that require the newer operating system. Only a power cord is included; no keyboard, mouse or monitor are supplied in the box.

Compatibility checks before ordering

The chassis provides no VGA or DVI connectors, so older monitors will need an active adapter or a cable that converts DisplayPort or HDMI to the required input. Verify that your display hardware supports one of the available digital interfaces. The small-form-factor case limits internal expansion space, so confirm that any planned add-in cards fit the reduced height and length constraints.
