All-in-One with 22-inch display

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 integrates a 22-inch Full HD monitor into a small-form-factor desktop. It runs a 6th Generation Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor at 3.2 GHz with 65 W TDP. The system includes 16 GB of DDR3L memory, a 256 GB M.2 SSD for the operating system and a 1 TB hard drive for bulk storage. Windows 10 Pro, USB keyboard and mouse are supplied.

Suited for office desks, not for heavy graphics

This configuration fits general business tasks, web-based applications and multi-monitor setups using the native DisplayPort and HDMI outputs. The integrated Intel HD Graphics and 65 W processor limit 3D rendering, video editing or modern gaming workloads. Buyers who need discrete GPU performance or more than 16 GB of memory should consider a different platform.

Dual-drive storage with 16 GB memory ceiling

The 256 GB M.2 drive provides fast boot and application launch, while the 1 TB hard drive adds capacity for documents and archives. Memory is capped at 16 GB DDR3L in this unit, so large datasets or virtual machines will exhaust headroom quickly. The optical drive and SD card reader handle legacy media and quick file transfers.

Questions about this item

What memory type and capacity must the motherboard accept for this OptiPlex 5040 to run?

The board takes 16 GB of DDR3L UDIMM; DDR4 modules are not compatible with this unit.

Can the Intel HD Graphics drive the built-in 22-inch panel and a second display over DisplayPort at the same time?

Yes, the chipset natively supports three digital video outputs so the integrated screen and an external monitor can run together.

How can I confirm the 256 GB M.2 drive is the active boot device after first power-on?

Open Windows Disk Management and verify the partition marked "System" and "Boot" resides on the 256 GB M.2 volume.
