Dell Latitude E5540 business notebook

This 15.6-inch laptop ships new with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit installed. It is built around a 4th Gen Intel Core i5-4300U processor running at 1.9 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 2.6 GHz. Integrated graphics and 16 GB of DDR3L memory handle everyday office workloads. A 2.5-inch 128 GB SATA SSD provides the system drive.

Suited for office workers needing a ready-to-use

The Full HD LED display and integrated GPU cover document editing, web apps and video calls. Buyers who need discrete graphics, a larger internal drive or a touchscreen should look elsewhere. The DVD-RW drive remains useful for legacy media but adds bulk compared to modern ultraportables.

128 GB SATA SSD capacity

The single 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive holds the operating system and a modest amount of user data. It is not user-expandable without removing the existing drive. Shoppers requiring more than 128 GB of fast internal storage must plan for an external solution or a different system.

Questions about this item

What are the dimensions and mounting pattern of the 128 GB drive so I can fit a replacement?

The factory drive is a 2.5 inch SATA solid state drive; any 2.5 inch 7 mm SATA SSD or hard drive will fit the same bay and screw holes.

Which screws and cables must be disconnected to swap the RAM modules?

Remove the base cover screws, lift the cover, then release the two DDR3L SO-DIMM retention clips; the modules pop up at an angle for removal.

Which replaceable part will need attention after a few years of daily use?

The internal CMOS battery keeps the system clock and BIOS settings; when the date resets after power loss, that coin cell should be replaced.
