Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Business Desktop

This Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF is a small form factor business desktop built around an Intel Core i7 6700 3.4GHz quad-core processor with 8MB L3 cache. It comes with 16GB DDR4 memory and a 1TB SSD for fast boot and load times. Integrated Intel HD 530 graphics drive two DisplayPort and one HDMI output. Windows 10 Home is pre-installed and activated.

Suits Office Tasks, Not Legacy Monitor Ports

The system suits office workers and home users who need a compact, quiet PC for productivity applications, web browsing and video conferencing. Gigabit Ethernet and ten USB ports (six USB 3.0, four USB 2.0) handle peripherals and wired networking. Buyers who must connect older monitors requiring VGA or DVI inputs should look elsewhere, as this unit lacks those ports entirely. No optical drive is fitted.

Intel Q170 Chipset Defines Upgrade Limits

The Intel Q170 chipset determines which processors and memory speeds the board supports, making it the single specification that decides whether this chassis fits a planned upgrade path. The 64-bit quad-core CPU and DDR4 slots are fixed to this platform. Verify compatibility with any intended processor swap or memory expansion against the Q170 before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will my older VGA monitor work with the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs on this OptiPlex 7040 SFF?

The unit has one HDMI port and two DisplayPort connectors but no VGA or DVI ports, so you will need an active HDMI-to-VGA or DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter to connect an older VGA monitor.

How can I verify the Intel Core i7 6700 and 16 GB DDR4 are recognised after I power on the desktop?

Open Task Manager or System Information in Windows 10 Home; both will show the quad-core i7 6700 running at 3.4 GHz with 8 MB L3 cache and 16 GB of DDR4 memory installed.

Does the box include a keyboard, mouse or display cable, or must I buy them separately?

The package contains the OptiPlex 7040 SFF desktop and a power cord only; keyboard, mouse, monitor and any required video cables or adapters are not included.
