Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF business desktop

The Dell OptiPlex 7040 SFF is a small-form-factor desktop built for office and home-office work. Its Intel Core i7-6700 quad-core processor runs at 3.4 GHz with 8 MB L3 cache. The system ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB solid-state drive. Integrated Intel HD 530 graphics drive two DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port.

8 GB DDR4 and 1 TB SSD capacity and headroom

Eight gigabytes of DDR4 handles typical business multitasking such as document editing, web browsing and video calls. The 1 TB SSD provides ample space for the operating system, applications and a large local file library. Memory-intensive workloads like virtual machines or large creative projects will exhaust the 8 GB limit and the integrated graphics cannot accelerate 3D rendering or modern gaming.

Upgrade from older SFF desktops or low-spec laptops

This unit replaces ageing Core i5 or Core i3 small-form-factor PCs that rely on mechanical hard drives and limited memory. The jump is worthwhile when moving from a system with 4 GB of RAM and a spinning disk to this quad-core configuration with solid-state storage. Buyers who need discrete graphics, more than two native video outputs or user-serviceable memory slots beyond the two SO-DIMM sockets should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the two DisplayPort outputs and HDMI port drive my existing monitors without adapters?

The system provides two DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI port. If your monitors accept DisplayPort or HDMI you can connect them directly; VGA or DVI displays will need an active adapter.

How can I verify the Intel HD 530 graphics and 8 MB cache are active after first boot?

Open Device Manager and confirm Intel HD Graphics 530 appears under Display adapters. In Task Manager’s Performance tab the CPU should show four cores and 8 MB L3 cache.

Does the box include a keyboard, mouse or monitor, and what cables are supplied?

Only the desktop unit and a power cord are included. No keyboard, mouse, monitor or video cables are provided.
