Compact Business Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 5040 SFF delivers a 6th Generation Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor with 6M cache reaching 3.60 GHz, 8GB memory, and a new 256GB solid-state drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 handles everyday visual tasks. Windows 10 Professional is pre-installed for immediate deployment. The small form factor chassis suits offices where desk space is limited.

Connectivity and Expansion Bundle

A USB WiFi adapter adds wireless networking without occupying internal slots. The DVDRW drive reads and writes optical media for legacy archives or software installs. Two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port support multi-monitor setups directly from the integrated graphics. Six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports provide ample peripheral connections across front and rear panels.

Chassis Practicality

The slim enclosure measures 11.4 inches high, 11.5 inches wide, and 3.6 inches deep, weighing 10.7 lbs. One half-height PCIe x16 slot and one half-height PCIe x4 slot allow low-profile add-in cards. A single M.2 22x80mm slot and an internal 3.5-inch bay convertible to two 2.5-inch drives give storage flexibility. PS/2, serial, and RJ-45 ports retain compatibility with older business equipment.

Questions about this item

Can the 256GB SSD be swapped for a larger drive later?

The chassis has one M.2 22x80mm slot and a 3.5-inch bay convertible to two 2.5-inch drives, so you can add or replace storage.

Will the half-height PCIe x16 slot limit graphics upgrades under heavy load?

Only half-height cards fit the single PCIe x16 slot, which caps the maximum GPU power envelope you can install.

How loud does the fan get when the i5-6500 runs at 3.60GHz all day?

The small 3.6-inch deep chassis moves air through a compact heatsink, so sustained turbo speeds raise fan noise noticeably.
