Dell OptiPlex 5060 SFF desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 5060 SFF is a compact business desktop powered by an 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8500 hexa-core processor running up to 4.10 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 128 GB M.2 solid-state drive for the operating system, and a 1 TB hard drive for additional storage. Windows 10 Pro comes pre-installed along with a USB keyboard and mouse.

Installation and common issues

The small-form-factor chassis uses toolless latches for quick access to the two PCIe card slots and memory sockets. Installation is straightforward, but the low-profile design restricts add-in cards to half-height models only. The 65 W processor rating limits graphics upgrades to low-power options, and the M.2 slot supports a single drive without a secondary M.2 position.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your display connects via DisplayPort because the system provides two DisplayPort outputs and an optional video port that may not be populated. Ensure any planned PCIe expansion cards are half-height to fit the two available slots. Confirm the USB 3.1 Gen 1 and Gen 2 Type-C ports meet your peripheral requirements, and note that wireless connectivity relies on an included USB dongle rather than an internal card.
