Compact Business Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 SFF is a small form factor desktop built for office environments. It ships new with a 6th Generation Intel Core i5-6500 processor, 8GB of memory and a dual-drive configuration of 120GB SSD plus 1TB hard drive. Windows 10 Professional is pre-installed alongside a USB Wi-Fi adapter, keyboard and mouse.

Office Users Seeking Space Savings

This system suits workers who need a capable business PC that occupies minimal desk area. It is not for buyers who require full-height expansion cards or more than two half-height PCIe slots. Users needing greater internal storage bays or a discrete graphics card should consider a larger chassis.

Dual-Drive Storage Layout

The defining specification is the combined 120GB solid-state drive and 1TB mechanical hard drive. This pairing delivers fast boot and application launch from the SSD while the hard drive provides bulk capacity for documents and archives.

Questions about this item

How much heat and fan noise does the OptiPlex 5040 SFF produce when running all day?

The small form factor chassis measures 11.4 by 11.5 by 3.6 inches and weighs 10.7 lbs. It houses a 65 W quad-core i5-6500 with integrated Intel HD Graphics 530, cooled by Dell's internal thermal solution.

What display cable or monitor input do I need to use the built-in video ports?

The rear panel provides two DisplayPort and one HDMI output. Connect a monitor with a matching DisplayPort or HDMI input; no adapter is required for either standard.

Will my existing PCIe x16 add-in card fit in the half-height slot?

The SFF chassis includes one half-height PCIe x16 slot and one half-height PCIe x4 slot. Only low-profile cards that fit the half-height bracket will install correctly.
