Compact business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 Small Form Factor desktop uses an Intel Core i5-6500 four-core processor running at 3.2 GHz with a turbo up to 3.6 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR3 1600 memory and a 500 GB SATA solid-state drive. Windows 10 Professional is pre-installed and the 180 W power supply supports the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530.

Office and light workloads

This system suits users who need a small, quiet PC for everyday office applications, web browsing and dual-display productivity via HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2. Buyers who require a dedicated graphics card, more than two display outputs, or higher-wattage expansion should look elsewhere because the half-height PCIe slots and 180 W supply limit those upgrades.

Ready-to-use essentials

The included power cable lets you start immediately while the DVD-RW drive handles legacy media and software installation. Two half-height expansion slots — one PCIe x16 and one PCIe x1 — remain available for add-in cards such as additional network or serial adapters. No mouse, keyboard or video cable is supplied so those must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy a monitor, keyboard and mouse separately to use this OptiPlex 3040 SFF?

Yes, the system ships without a monitor, keyboard, mouse or video cable; you must provide your own display and input devices.

Can I keep my older VGA-only display and connect it to the HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2 outputs on this unit?

The listed video outputs are HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2; a VGA port is marked optional, so a native VGA connection is not guaranteed without an active adapter.

How can I confirm the Intel HD Graphics 530 is driving both screens after I plug them in?

Open Windows 10 Pro Display Settings — both connected panels should appear as separate displays and the adapter will show as Intel HD Graphics 530.
