Dell OptiPlex 3040 SFF Business Desktop

This small form factor desktop is built for office environments needing a compact footprint. It ships with Windows 10 Professional pre-installed and an Intel Core i5-6500 processor reaching 3.6GHz. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives two displays simultaneously. It suits general productivity tasks and legacy business applications.

Check Power Supply And Expansion Space Before

The unit includes a 180W power supply that limits graphics card upgrades to low-profile, low-power models. Only one half-height PCIe x16 and one half-height PCIe x1 slot are available for add-in cards. Verify that your existing monitors accept HDMI 1.4 or DisplayPort 1.2 inputs. Memory uses DDR3 1600 modules and the board has two DIMM slots supporting up to 16GB total.

Fits Tight Workspaces While Freeing Desk Area

The slim chassis measures 11.5 inches deep and 3.6 inches wide, sliding behind monitors or into cramped cubicles. One 3.5 inch bay and one 2.25 inch slimline bay allow storage expansion without external drives. Four USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0 ports handle peripherals directly, reducing hub clutter. A DVDRW drive is included for legacy media access.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the OptiPlex 3040 and what do I need to buy separately?

The system includes a power cable. A monitor, keyboard, mouse and video cable are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the 8 GB DDR3 1600 configuration or upgrade to the 16 GB maximum?

The installed 8 GB DDR3 1600 uses one of two DIMM slots. Adding a second matching module brings the total to the supported 16 GB maximum for heavier workloads.

What does the i5-6500 3.2 GHz up to 3.6 GHz rating mean in daily use?

The processor runs at a 3.2 GHz base clock and can boost to 3.6 GHz on active cores, giving responsive performance for office applications and light multitasking.
