Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF business desktop

This small-form-factor desktop comes with a 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i5-6500 processor running at 3.2 GHz with a 3.60 GHz boost and 6 MB cache. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a new 480 GB solid-state drive. The unit ships with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit pre-installed and includes a USB keyboard and mouse.

Connectivity and display limits

Video output is provided by two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port; no DVI or VGA outputs are present. The system offers four USB 3.0 ports and six USB 2.0 ports for peripherals. Wired networking uses a single Gigabit Ethernet connection. A DVD-RW optical drive is fitted internally.

Storage capacity as the deciding factor

The 480 GB SSD determines how much software and data can be kept on the machine without adding external drives. Buyers who need more storage capacity for large media libraries or multiple virtual machines should consider a different configuration. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 handles basic business visuals but is not suited for demanding 3D workloads.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16 GB DDR4 configuration or look for a different memory amount?

This unit ships with 16 GB DDR4 already installed. The four DIMM slots accept DDR4 modules, so you can add more later if your workload needs it.

What does the i5-6500 3.2 GHz base clock mean for everyday office work?

The quad-core i5-6500 runs at 3.2 GHz base and can boost to 3.60 GHz. That gives snappy response for web apps, spreadsheets and multi-tasking in Windows 10 Pro.

Which video outputs does the SFF chassis provide and what resolution can I run?

You get two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port. All three can drive monitors simultaneously, each supporting typical business resolutions up to 4K at 60 Hz.
