Business small-form-factor desktop

The OptiPlex 3050 SFF is a compact business desktop built around an Intel Core i5-6500 running at 3.2 GHz with integrated Intel HD Graphics 530. It ships with 4 GB of DDR3 memory, a 256 GB SSD and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. The small chassis is designed for office environments where desk space is limited.

Slim chassis with front-access optical drive

The slim form factor uses a black metal case that fits behind a monitor or on a shelf. A front-facing DVD-ROM drive and a single SATA interface are provided for legacy media and storage expansion. Two memory slots allow the installed 4 GB module to be supplemented when workloads demand more capacity.

Integrated graphics with modest thermal output

The 65 W processor and integrated graphics share a compact heatsink and fan assembly that remains quiet during typical productivity tasks. Power draw stays low under normal office loads, so the unit runs cool without requiring additional case airflow. Heavy sustained compute will raise fan speed but stays within the thermal limits of the small enclosure.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed does the 256GB SSD run at in this OptiPlex 3050?

The 256GB SSD connects through the motherboard SATA interface; the port negotiates its maximum link speed automatically, so the drive delivers full SATA throughput without any jumper or BIOS setting.

Will a low-profile PCIe card fit the 3050 SFF chassis?

The small-form-factor case accepts only low-profile expansion cards; a standard-height bracket will not clear the side panel, so verify the card ships with a low-profile bracket before buying.

How do I add more memory to the two DDR3 slots?

Power off and unplug the system, open the chassis, align each module notch with the slot key, press firmly until the retention clips click, then close the case and power on — the BIOS will recognise the new DDR3 automatically.
