Micro business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Micro is a compact desktop built for office and home productivity. It ships with a 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i5-6500T processor, 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 128GB solid-state drive. Windows 10 Home comes pre-installed and the unit includes a 65W power adapter.

Display and connectivity

Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives one DisplayPort and one HDMI output; no VGA or DVI ports are present, so older monitors need an adapter. Six USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi handle peripherals and networking. The micro chassis fits on a desk, behind a display or in a small mounting bracket.

Ideal for standard office tasks

This configuration suits users who need a quiet, space-saving PC for documents, web apps and video calls. Buyers who require more storage, a discrete graphics card, legacy video outputs or a larger expansion chassis should consider a different form factor.

Questions about this item

How long can the 65 W power supply sustain full load on the Core i5-6500T before thermal limits appear?

The 65 W adapter matches the system's rated power draw, so sustained workloads remain within the designed thermal envelope.

What is the fan noise level when the Micro runs all day at 100 % CPU?

The compact chassis uses a single internal fan; under continuous load it spins up to an audible but office-tolerable level.

Which display cables or adapters are required to connect a monitor to the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs?

The unit provides one HDMI and one DisplayPort; any monitor with those inputs works directly, while VGA or DVI screens need an active adapter.
