7020 Small Form Factor OptiPlex

Have a given model to nine on order and am awaiting delivery...

A few questions for the community if you let it.

The specification says w/HD Graphics 46OO. This configuration will support two monitors? If so, what are the results.

If this isn't the case, I need install a video card. I see that the model has a location pci express. I guess I need a low profile card? Suggestions for a reasonable round model (not), which will not put a load on the power supply.

It comes with an SSD, but no additional hard drive. I can see the spec there is that a single internal drive (3.5-inch) Bay. A hard drive can be installed alongside the SSD (SATA card inputs and enough power?) who will obviously have the OpSys on it.

Thanks a lot for any iput.

Hi Geezer466,

Thanks for the post! While the 7020 OptiPlex does not support RAID capacity it can withstand 2x2.5 inches SATA drives. See page 18 of the the service manual for more details. 2 ports back screen and VGA can be used for configuring multiple monitors without adding an additional video card.

  • Dell OptiPlex 760 ultra small form factor possible to add ddr3 ram?

    Hello world

    I have an old OptiPlex 760 ultra small form factor, and I just installed 10 windows, which runs most of the time without a hitch.

    This OptiPlex 760 has a processor Intel Core Duo E8600 in there. I've been googling and if I understand correctly, this processor supports ddr2 and ddr3 ram. Does this mean that I can put ddr3 ram in this machine?

    I also wonder if I add more than 4 GB of ram to it. I know officially it says max ram supported is 4 GB, but if I look at my MacBook it says max supported ram is 8 GB and I have 16 GB in it.

    So I wonder if this is the case even with my OptiPlex.

    Thank you.

    I put ddr3 ram in this machine?

    It depends on the chipset and since Crucial offers only DDR2 RAM for this system...

    It may or may not work with more than 4 GB. Look so all about these forums to see if anyone succeeded with more than 4 GB. At the very least, buy it from a source so it takes 8 GB does not work.

  • How to add SSD for Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor)

    Hi-

    I want to add a SSD for my Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor) boot drive while maintaining the HARD disk it came with and the player optical slimline. There is a SATA port on the motherboard, but there is no open Bay and not a lot of room in the chassis (I do not see a power open cable).

    Anyone know how or if I can add a SSD to 2.5 inches to this machine? Would need a power splitter? And it's even bothered to improve an Optiplex 755-10 Windows?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    -Lewis

    Adding a drive in the optical Bay is possible.  But you cannot run without the original hard disk on the desktop SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

  • Affordable graphics for dc 5800 sff small form factor?

    My PC is dc 5800 sff small footprint with Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz, 4 GB of RAM. Now it runs with Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 256 MB. I find it difficult to play games (like Pro Evolution Soccer 2015) in full resolution. I'm doing research on many types of video cards, but it seems impossible because of their diversity. Affordable graphics for dc 5800 sff small form factor?

    I've seen a few posts on the forum that says HD 6450 1 GB HP is correct; However, I would like to make 'extra' room 1 GB for the future. And I had Msi Hd 6450 2 GB and Asus Gt 630 2 Gb(GT630-SL-2GD3-L) on the spirit, but do not know if it will market voluntarily on my PC.

    Can you help me and suggestions are appreciated?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    Food's owner, which means that you can use only one.

    This means that you need to customize a graphics card to work with the existing configuration.

    The GT 610 or HD 6450 should work within the limits of the 240W power that has your PC.

    Each card must be much better than the card integrated Intel.

    Hello

    I'm not too familiar with the hardware upgrades, so I wonder if a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB would be compatible with my HP Compaq DC7800 Small Form Factor?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the plug for the GeForce 8800GT...

    http://www.GeForce.com/hardware/desktop-GPUs/GeForce-8800-GT/specifications

    Certainly, this card will not work in your machine for two reasons.

    1. he needs a power outlet extra that doesn't have food dc7800.

    2. the draw of the power of the card (105W), is too much for the PCIe x 16 slot 25W prorated and 240W power your PC.

    These PCs is designed for light desktop for administration.

    If you want to add a video card, it must be a down a profile that comes with low profile brackets in the area.

    I recommend the AMD HD 6450 or Nvidia GT-610 low profile cards that will work within the limits of the power supply of your PC has.

    Here is the Manual:

    You'll need a card video low - profile pci-e x 16. Even if you buy one with 3 outputs as a vga, one dvi and one HDMI usually you can only use 2.

    And Yes, when you install an add-in pci-e video card, you will lose the integrated graphics card.

    In order to drive the moire than 2 monitors you need a second video card, or a multiple display adapter cable. You have a pci-e available x 1 slot and there is such a thing as a video card pci-e x 1 like this:

    Some of these x 1 cards actually have a quad cable optionally, you can add the display.

    Hello:

    For a video card, I recommend the AMD Radeon HD 6450 half-height card, which works perfectly with the 240W power supply in your PC.

    Make sure that you get one that includes low profile brackets in the area.

    Memory... you can install a maximum of 4 x 2 GB memory PC2-6400 for your model if you are running a 64-bit operating system.

    I have used this brand in my dc7800 CMT.  I bought 2 games and maxed out.

    New drive HARD & OS errors---> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Can not install Win XP on another hard drive

    I work with a...
    HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Original SATA HDD is loaded with Windows 7 Pro.

    In order to install a program using this PC as a digital video recorder
    I installed the video capture PCI card and related software. I had problems
    associated with software and Windows 7.

    I know that the software works with Windows XP.
    Do not want to remove the original HDD, I tried my win7
    to replace the HARD drive and do a clean install of XP.

    I get the same error during the installation of the OS.  I tried different
    SATA and different XP install disks.

    The error I get is shown in this photo.

    Original HP HARD drive is a Hitachi 160 GB

    I tried 2 known to be good SATA drives.
    Seagate 500GB
    WD 80 GB

    I checked the bios settings and even revenue tio rear BIOS
    default settings.

    I get this error even with everything I tried to do.

    This happens during the OS install just after or during the process of the installation of temporary files are current

    written to the HD.

    When I re - install the original HD loaded with Win7, everything works as it
    expected.

    Any ideas on what] s going on here?

    Hello:

    The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.

    Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.

    Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/m-p/114120#M17758

    The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.

    The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller.  If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.

    Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.
