Dell OptiPlex 790 DT, OptiPlex 790 Specifications

Dell™ OptiPlex™ 790 desktop

The OptiPlex 790 exible desktop solution is designed for advanced performance and ecient col­laboration. It enables business-class control that helps ensure IT saves time and money and the re­mote management technology also helps simplify systems management and protect your data. Dell

OptiPlex 790 is available in four dierent chassis sizes that blend seamlessly into oce environments

and respect our planet.

Flexible and environmentally
conscious design

The completely redesigned form factors are amongst the
smallest within their categories. The mini-tower, desktop
and small form factor chassis have been optimized to help
maximize desk space and ensure the systems integrate

seamlessly in virtually any oce environment. The Dell

OptiPlex 790 also shares the same visual identity as Opti-

Plex 990 and 390 to oer a more consistent look across

the OptiPlex portfolio and two All-in-One stands enable
deployment as a single device with up to 24” displays. Ac­cessibility and serviceability are easy thanks to the conve­nient side-latch mechanism which makes access to key
system components for upgrades and services fast and

easy. The form-factor exibility has also been designed

with our planet in mind. The systems all have a minimum
of 10% post-consumed recycled plastic enclosure and

oer 90% ecient power supplies option. Starting with
OptiPlex small form factor Dell also provides recyclable

packaging. By using post-consumed recycled plastic
content in the chassis of more models, the new genera-

tion of OptiPlex is Dell’s most environmentally responsible
commercial desktop oering.

Advanced performance and productivity

The OptiPlex 790 delivers great performance and features
nearly the same performance as OptiPlex 990 which is the
most powerful OptiPlex ever. Enable your workforce with
cutting-edge productivity tools such as the advanced 2nd
generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor featuring gener­ous high-speed memory options and support for up to
four simultaneous video displays across small-form factor,
desktop and minitower chassis with dual PCI-express

slots. The OptiPlex 790 also supports exible desktop

virtualization deployment models to help users get up and
running fast and have their data centrally stored to avoid
downtime. OptiPlex 790 supported virtualization solutions
range from virtual remote desktop control to on-demand
desktop streaming or client hosted virtualization.

Business-class control

The OptiPlex 790 is equipped with Intel Standard Man­agement technology enabling ecient remote system

management that helps managing many systems simul-

taneously; along with the Dell Data Protection security

capabilities such as one-touch preset compliance policy

templates, exible encryption and single solution for

system disk as well as removable medias that work in your
unique environment. A business-class range of secu­rity and management options which allows security and

remote control congurations to meet large organizations
unique needs and challenges. Dell KACE system manage-

ment appliances are fully-compatible with the OptiPlex
790 desktops enabling easy deployment of remote man-

ageability and maintenance simplication. The OptiPlex

technological assets are backed with proven professional
IT services and support worldwide, ranging from deploy­ment to maintenance or web solutions to help IT to sim­plify their daily tasks. The OptiPlex platform commitment
to stability, long-lifecycle and managed transitions also
help ensure IT to save time and money.
