Compact Business Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF is a small-form-factor desktop built for everyday office workloads. It ships with a 6th Gen Intel Core i5-6500 quad-core processor running at 3.2 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 memory. A 1 TB SSD provides fast boot times and ample space for business files. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed and ready to use.

Suited For Standard Office Tasks

This system suits users who need a reliable machine for web browsing, document editing, email and light multitasking. The integrated Intel HD 530 graphics supports up to three displays via HDMI and DisplayPort connections. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance for CAD, video editing or gaming should look at a different platform. The compact chassis limits internal expansion compared to larger towers.

Check Power And Peripherals

Verify that your monitor has an HDMI or DisplayPort input to match the available video outputs. No wireless card is included, so a wired Ethernet connection or a separate Wi-Fi adapter is required for network access. The package does not contain a keyboard, mouse or monitor, so plan to supply those separately. Ensure the supplied power cable matches your local mains socket.

Questions about this item

Does the Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF need a separate monitor, keyboard and mouse to operate?

Yes, the system ships without a monitor, keyboard or mouse so you must provide all three to use it.

Will the Intel HD 530 graphics drive two legacy VGA displays through adapters?
