OptiPlex 7040 SFF business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 in Small Form Factor is a business-class desktop built around a 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i5 6500 processor running at 3.20 GHz with 6 MB L3 cache. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB NVMe PCIe M.2 solid-state drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives the display outputs, and Windows 10 Pro comes pre-installed and activated without bloatware. The compact black chassis targets office and home-office users who need a space-saving, ready-to-run system.

Check video outputs and expansion space

This unit provides two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port; it has no VGA or DVI ports, so older monitors will require an adapter or a different cable. There are six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports, plus a Gigabit Ethernet jack and a serial port. The slim case limits internal expansion to low-profile cards, and no optical drive is fitted as standard. Verify that your display cables and any add-in cards match these constraints before ordering.

Fits tight workspaces and frees desk area

The small-form-factor design slides behind a monitor or into a cramped desk cubby, leaving more usable surface space. A single power cord and the included Windows 10 Pro licence mean the system is operational immediately after connecting a display, keyboard and mouse. Integrated graphics and the NVMe drive handle everyday productivity workloads without a discrete card, keeping power draw and heat low in confined areas.
