Compact business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF packs a 64-bit quad-core Intel Core i7-6700 processor at 3.4 GHz with 8 MB L3 cache into a small-form-factor chassis. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD, running a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 drives two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port.

Office workers needing legacy video should note

This unit suits general business tasks, web browsing and multi-monitor setups using DisplayPort or HDMI. Buyers who must connect older VGA or DVI monitors will need an active adapter because the system provides neither port. The compact case also limits internal expansion, so users requiring additional add-in cards or 3.5-inch drive bays should consider a larger tower.

Included accessories keep it simple

The box contains only the desktop and a power cord; no keyboard, mouse or monitor are supplied. A genuine Microsoft Windows COA sticker is attached, confirming the activated Windows 10 Pro licence. Six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports provide plenty of peripheral connectivity, while Gigabit Ethernet and a serial port cover wired networking and legacy device needs.

Questions about this item

Does the OptiPlex 7040 SFF include a keyboard and mouse, or must I supply my own?

The unit ships without a keyboard or mouse, so you will need to provide both to use the system.

Can I connect a monitor that only has VGA or DVI inputs to the HDMI and DisplayPort outputs on this desktop?

The system has one HDMI port and two DisplayPort connectors but no VGA or DVI ports, so an active adapter or converter cable is required for older monitors.

How can I verify the integrated Intel HD 530 graphics are active after installing Windows 10 Pro?

Open Device Manager, expand Display adapters, and confirm Intel HD Graphics 530 appears without a warning icon.
