Small-form-factor business desktop

The OptiPlex 3050 SFF is a compact desktop built for office environments. Its small chassis fits on or under a desk while delivering a 3.2 GHz quad-core i5-6500 processor. The system arrives with Windows 10 Pro already installed and activated. It targets users who need a space-saving PC for everyday productivity tasks.

16 GB DDR4 memory and 256 GB SSD

Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory provides headroom for multiple browser tabs, office suites and light multitasking. The 256 GB solid-state drive boots the operating system quickly and stores core applications. Storage can become tight for users who keep large media libraries or project archives locally. Integrated Intel HD 530 graphics handles standard business displays but is not suited for demanding 3D workloads.

HDMI and DisplayPort video outputs

The rear panel includes one HDMI port and one DisplayPort for connecting modern monitors. No VGA or DVI connectors are present, so older screens require an active adapter or a replacement cable. Four USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports support peripherals such as keyboards, mice and external drives. A DVD-RW optical drive and a Gigabit Ethernet port complete the connectivity.

Questions about this item

Will the 256GB SSD and DDR4 memory work with my existing OptiPlex 3050 SFF if I keep the i5-6500?

Yes, the 256GB SSD and 16GB DDR4 are the exact components already installed in this unit, so they are fully compatible with the i5-6500 and the Intel Q170 chipset.

How can I verify the Intel HD 530 graphics and Gigabit Ethernet are functioning after I connect the HDMI or DisplayPort cable?

After booting into Windows 10 Pro, open Device Manager and confirm Intel HD Graphics 530 and the Gigabit Ethernet adapter appear without error codes, then run a browser speed test to check the 10/100/1000 Mbps link.

Does the box contain a keyboard, mouse, monitor or VGA adapter, or must I buy them separately?

The box includes only the desktop tower and a power cord; no keyboard, mouse, monitor, or VGA/DVI adapter is supplied, so those must be purchased separately.
