Dell OptiPlex 7040 Micro for business and home

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Micro desktop fits into tight spaces while delivering a 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i5-6500T processor, 8GB DDR4 memory and a 256GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Home and includes Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac plus Gigabit Ethernet for network connectivity. No monitor, keyboard or mouse are included in the box.

65W power supply with integrated graphics

A 65W power supply drives the system, which relies on Intel HD Graphics 530 for video output through one HDMI port and one DisplayPort. The compact Micro chassis uses passive and low-profile cooling suited to office workloads, keeping acoustic output low during typical productivity tasks. There are no legacy VGA or DVI ports on the rear panel.

256GB NVMe boot drive defines storage capacity

The single 256GB NVMe SSD serves as the only internal storage device, so the usable capacity is fixed at that figure. Buyers who need more local space for large media libraries or extensive project files will have to add external drives or use cloud storage. The M.2 slot is occupied by the boot drive, leaving no room for a second internal SSD.

Questions about this item

How do I open the Micro case to add memory, and which latch do people forget?

Slide the release latch on the bottom cover, lift the cover, then press the two side tabs inward to free the internal chassis — the side tabs are the step most people miss.

What memory upgrades does the 8 GB DDR4 configuration support later?

The board takes two DDR4 SO-DIMM slots; the system ships with one 8 GB module, so you can add a matching DDR4 stick up to the platform maximum.

What thermal limit appears first when the 65 W power supply runs the i5-6500T at full load for long periods?

The 65 W adapter caps sustained power, so the CPU will hit its thermal throttle point before the supply overheats.
