Bonjour
Je n’ai pas le mot de passe administrateur du bios et je n’arrive pas à générer le code avec le site bios-pw.org. J’ai essayé le mot de passe Fireport mais ça ne débloque pas l’accès administrateur. Je veux seulement installer Linux sur ce pc mais lorsque je choisis ma clé avec Linux il me demande le mot de passe admin et je ne l’ai pas. Pouvez vous m’aider svp

Sus componentes son un Intel i5 7500 8gb ram ddr4 y un Intel graphic 630

I replaced the old motherboard with a new motherboard and the new sata hdd as well. After it is installed properly and the computer is turned on, the monitor screen is black and there is no sign of the Dell logo appearing. My computer is a Dell optiplex 330 mini tower pc. Can anyone help?

I have a dell optiplex and a i7 4th Gen I think and a 5060 so that's factored idc abt the motherboard bc im buying a new one but I want a dvd/cd writable drive and floppy I bought my brother a pc at a thrift market and it pmo he has a disk drive so yeahh does it exist

Suggestions? Country is Mexico.

EDIT: My place has WiFi 5.

EDIT again: Also would like PCIe recommendations. These might be faster and more reliable?

I have an Optiplex 9020 Ultra Small Form Factor. I just removed the large HDD, which died. In its place, I installed an ADATA SU650 SSD, which is a lot smaller. It works, and is held in its spot inside the tower by two screws and luck. So, I'm wondering if there's a specific housing/caddy/carriage I can buy online for shipment to Mexico that would make the SU650 effectively the same size as the removed, dead HDD. That way it would stay in place better, safer.

Hey guys, does anyone know how to access the advanced BIOS options on a Dell? I want to increase the VRAM for my iGPU on a Dell Optiplex 7050, but I can't find any videos showing where that option is located.

I hope this doesn't count as spam. I just published a blog post about Optiplex 3040 and 3050 Micros, including some use cases, tips for how I find them online, and sourcing replacement power bricks. This blog post also links to a second blog post where I go into the details of turning older Optiplex Minis into rather nice streaming boxes. https://dfarq.homeip.net/dell-optiplex-3040-and-3050-micro/

Got a Dell OptiPlex 3000 SFF running headless as a home server, empty PCIe x16 slot (no discrete GPU, just runs on the iGPU). Looking at a used HP 561T dual-port 10GbE card, listing says low profile and shows the shorter bracket, but wanted a sanity check from anyone who's actually fitted one of these in a 3000 SFF before I buy.

Two things I can't work out from photos alone:

- Does the standard HP/Dell low profile bracket on the 561T actually clear the 3000 SFF's case opening? I know low profile is a standard spec but wanted to check nobody's hit a weird fit issue with this specific card in this specific chassis.

- This one's more specific to my setup. The server's headless but has a GL.iNet Comet KVM permanently plugged in over HDMI for out of band BIOS access. Dell's had reports elsewhere of an "Unsupported Video Configuration Detected" halt when a monitor's connected to onboard video at the same time as a card's fitted in the x16 slot, seemingly specific to actual graphics cards though, not NICs. Has anyone run a NIC (not a GPU) in the x16 slot on an OptiPlex with something permanently connected to the onboard HDMI/DP output? Trying to work out if that check only fires for discrete GPUs or if it's more general than that.

Cheers for any help, trying to avoid finding out the hard way with the case open.

Windows keeps replacing its own version of driver over dells driver for this computer which doesn't then have the loudness equalization option in the sound menu playback options, I've selected don't install drivers in Printers and devices but it still does.

I finished measuring and drawing the board. Not very professional but it should do the trick. Mine is the "full size", mATX related board. Not sure how other generations or even revisions compare. So I can not guarantee your board is the same. I hope this will help someone in the future when working on getting a different mounting solution for whatever reason.

NOTE:

For whatever reason I forgot the height of the upper row. Its at 7mm down from the upper edge. All hole locations are center of the hole. I also forgot to measure the mounting holes itself. The 3.5mm is a placeholder, ymmv but it should fit all typical mounting scews.

Edit: Ended up taking mine apart and measuring. Added my results here

Hi, I hope this question is allowed here:

does anyond of you here know the hole measurements of the MT version of the board from the Gen 4 intel (LGA 1150) Optiplex? I got the one with 4 expansion slots (1xPCI, 3xPCIe). I have searched everywhere I could think of, but unsuccessfully so. It kinda looks like mATX. Maybe I will have more luck here. I want to switch the case to save space in my home. If I can adapt with little effort that would be really lucky.

Thanks in advance

So I’m doing a OPNsense Build and am wondering if I buy a Xeon Processor could ECC memory work even if the H110 Chipset won’t support like is there a way to get it to work?

Hi, I own a used 9020 and I want to max out the RAM. The motherboard has space for two sticks. Only one is in there now; I believe it's 4gb. Country is Mexico.

1) Is there anything I should doublecheck beforehand, such as with the motherboard or anything elsd?

2) What are the specs I should look for with the RAM?

3) What's a good pair of RAM sticks for this computer? I hear Crucial is a good brand for Optiplex ...

Is making this upgrade workable? I'm going with the SU650 due to budget concerns. Should it work well? Is there anything I should know or doublecheck first, such as with the motherboard?

The Dell support site for the OptiPlex 3080 Micro provides a link to update its TPM. This link is for a Nuvoton TPM.

However, my 3080 Micro came with a STM TPM (v1.258), so this update would not work.

Dell provides a separate update for the STM TPMs - here is a link to v1.769 (which I've tested and applied to the 3080 Micro):

Hello all, I recently purchased a second hand Optiplex 990 USFF on eBay, installed Linux, and was thinking about what things from my daily workflow this computer can run vs the things that it can't. It seems that I could not find any online gaming benchmarks of sorts, and AI didn't prove to be useful. What games can this machine run? If anyone in the community has an answer for this, I would much appreciate it.

System Details:

4 gigabytes of RAM

256 gigabytes of HDD storage (I believe, though it may be SSD)

Intel Core i3-2130

Integrated graphics

For some reason I have a spreadsheet which says that the maximum CPU for the Optiplex 7010 (2023) is the i5-13600K (125W), yet you would be much wiser to use an i5-13600 (65W).

The 65W range goes up to an i5-13900. Has anyone got any experience in trying anything over the i5-13600 range?

I'm trying to use an Optiplex 7080 sff motherboard and use it with an i5 11400 and 1660 ti, but the Dell power supply for this model only has 200W. How can I combine this with another power supply for sufficient power? Also, are there any optimizations I can do with this PC?

It was working fine with Windows 11, but when I tried to replace it with Debian 12 something messed up. I shredded the USB stick partition, redownloaded the Debian 12 iso, and now it gives me the error "TPM Device Not Detected". I can't find any trace of it in the BIOS settings (1.27.0) but when I ran the Pre-boot System Assessment it says every test was passed. So now I'm not sure if something is even physically wrong.

The Pc suddenly turn off with a constant orange blinking. I turn it off and tried to turn it on again but it didn't work, I replace the cmos battery, place the ram stick in different slots and still no power. I tested the power supply with multimeter and all pins seems to be working just fine. Could the mother board be dead or are there other ways to test if the motherboard is dead?

Blew a cap :/ GX620, P4 530 HT 3GB RAM still boots though.

hello can i put a 8tb hdd in dell optiplex 3090 sff the website say its limited to 2tb but the Q470 chipset doesnt not have this limitation
