Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Business Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex 7040 small form factor desktop is built for office environments and home productivity. It runs on a 64-bit Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor at 3.2 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache. The system includes 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA hard drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives video output through two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port. Windows 10 Home comes pre-installed and activated.

Upgrading from Older Office Systems

The 6th generation Core i5 delivers a clear step up from earlier dual-core or 4th generation processors for multi-tasking and business applications. Moving from a mechanical drive of smaller capacity to this 2 TB SATA drive adds substantial space for local files and backups. The jump is worthwhile when your current machine struggles with several browser tabs, Office suites or legacy line-of-business software running together. The slim chassis fits tight desk spaces where a full tower would not.

Check Display Cables and Expansion Needs

This unit has no VGA or DVI ports, so older monitors will need a DisplayPort or HDMI adapter or cable. Verify that your display supports one of the available video inputs before ordering. The motherboard uses the Intel Q170 chipset with six USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports; confirm your peripherals match these connections. A DVD-ROM drive is included, but no keyboard or mouse ships in the box.

Questions about this item

What are the video outputs on this OptiPlex 7040 SFF for connecting a monitor?

The system provides two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port; there are no VGA or DVI outputs, so older screens will need an active adapter or a cable with the correct plug.

Which steps are required to install Windows 10 on this unit, and where do people go wrong?

Windows 10 Home comes pre-installed and activated with a genuine COA sticker; the only required step is running the initial out-of-box setup, and the common mistake is skipping the mandatory updates before installing applications.

What internal storage upgrades does this SFF desktop support later on?

The chassis accepts standard 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives, so additional or replacement storage must use the SATA interface.
