Compact Business Desktop with Dual Storage

The Dell OptiPlex 3040 SFF is a Small Form Factor desktop computer built for office and home productivity. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core i5-6500 processor with a base frequency of 3.20 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.60 GHz. The system includes 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and a 500GB HDD. Intel HD Graphics 530 drives the included 24 inch LED monitor at up to 4096 × 2304 resolution at 60Hz. A wireless keyboard and mouse are supplied.

Suits General Office Work; Not for Heavy Graphics

This configuration suits users who need a ready-to-use Windows 11 Pro desktop for documents, web browsing and business applications. The dual-drive layout gives fast boot and application load times from the SSD plus larger capacity on the HDD. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance for 3D rendering, video editing or modern gaming should look elsewhere. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 cannot meet those workloads. The Small Form Factor chassis also limits internal expansion options.

16GB RAM Fixed at Maximum Supported

The platform supports a maximum of 16GB of memory and this unit already has that amount installed. No further RAM upgrades are possible. If your workflow requires more than 16GB of system memory, this desktop will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy a display cable to connect the included 24 inch monitor to the HDMI port on this OptiPlex 3040?

The system ships with a 24 inch LED monitor and the desktop provides an HDMI output, so a standard HDMI cable is the only link required between them.

Will my existing DisplayPort-only monitor work with the Intel HD Graphics 530 in this unit?

The published video output for this model is HDMI; if your older monitor only accepts DisplayPort you would need an active adapter or a different cable.

How can I confirm the Intel HD Graphics 530 is driving the screen at 4K resolution after setup?

Open Windows Display Settings and verify the resolution reads 4096 × 2304 at 60 Hz, which is the maximum supported by this graphics engine.
