Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF Business Desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 Small Form Factor is a compact business desktop powered by an Intel Core i5-6500T processor running at 2.5GHz with a turbo frequency up to 3.1GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 2133MHz memory and a 250GB SATA solid-state drive. Windows 10 Professional comes pre-installed on the 180W system.

Suited for office tasks and multi-display setups

This configuration supports up to 32GB of memory across four DIMM slots and drives three active displays via one HDMI 1.4 and two DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. The half-height expansion layout provides one PCIe x16 slot, one PCIe x4 slot and an M.2 2280 socket. Buyers needing low-profile add-in cards or more internal drive bays should verify the slim chassis constraints before purchasing.

Half-height PCIe x16 and x4 expansion

The desktop includes one half-height PCIe x16 slot and one half-height PCIe x4 slot for graphics, networking or storage controllers. An M.2 2280 socket is also present on the motherboard. The 180W power supply limits the total power available to expansion cards, so high-wattage GPUs are not supported.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the Intel Core i5-6500T reaches 3.1 GHz under load?

Open Task Manager’s Performance tab while running a demanding task; the CPU frequency graph should show speeds up to 3.1 GHz on the four cores.

Which cables and peripherals are included, and what must I supply?

A power cable is included; you must provide a monitor, keyboard, mouse and any video cable such as HDMI or DisplayPort.

Should I choose the 250 GB SATA SSD or add a second drive for more space?

The 250 GB SATA SSD is the boot drive; you can add a second 3.5″ SATA drive or an M.2 2280 SATA SSD for extra capacity.
