The Dell OptiPlex 745 is designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of business users. The energy-efficient and fully customizable 745 can scale to suit your business and is supported by a full set of relevant features and technologies. Customized deployment, remote management and flexible security features can help you simplify your operations and increase your productivity while still providing great value. The OptiPlex 745 is the perfect business system to give you the features you need at the price you want.

Save Energy, Save Costs
The Energy Star-compliant OptiPlex 745 is extremely energy efficient. With the new Energy Smart configuration, OptiPlex default power settings exceed the worldwide mutually recognized Energy Star standard, which means that each desktop is designed to further reduce power consumption and energy costs, right out of the box. This high level of power management, combined with Power Factor Correcting power supplies, flat panel displays, Intel Core 2 Duo processors and thermally efficient BTX chassis designs, means that the OptiPlex 745 uses up to 70% less power than previous generations of OptiPlex desktops1, so it helps you conserve your resources and the earth’s resources at the same time.

Customized Out of the Box
Two optional Dell services give you incredible flexibility when it comes to deploying OptiPlex systems across your business. With Dell’s Advanced Configuration Services, you can go beyond basic configurations and customize your systems even further at the point of sale. Set hard drive partitions, Internet security settings, BIOS settings and more.
"Go beyond basic configurations and customize your systems even further at the point of sale."
If you are looking to take image management a step further, Dell Imaging Services can help by not only providing the expertise to develop, test, maintain and deploy your custom images, but also by utilizing one-touch factory integration to help minimize errors and accelerate system deployment.

Remote Monitoring and Management
OptiPlex remote control solutions offer simple central management of your business assets. Dell’s system management tools address IT issues and can give you comprehensive control over the computing environment. Dell Client Manager Standard (DCM) (available 10/06) is a no-charge console download that gives IT administrators a range of remote management capabilities – including hardware discovery and inventory, configuration control and BIOS patch management – that help them streamline remote management of Dell client assets and reduce desk-side visits.

Smart Security
Your data and your assets are the foundation of your business. Dell understands that protecting these things from vulnerability in a cost-effective way is one of the most important elements of managing your IT environment. The OptiPlex 745 has been designed with this in mind. Not only does the 745 offer a wide variety of cost-effective security software solutions, but it is also designed to protect your information with physical security options, data encryption options, as well as user-authentication and network security technologies.

The 745 offers multi-factor authentication and data encryption using Wave EMBASSY® software in combination with TPM 1.2-compatible safeguards like biometric and smart card readers to protect your business assets against both internal and external threats.

Simplify Your Operations
The OptiPlex 745 helps you simplify your IT operations by delivering globally-consistent configurations, long purchase lifecycles and managed transitions, so you can spend less time planning and get back to your business. Plus, with a flexible set of remote management tools and security options, system maintenance is quick and simple, further reducing the strain on your IT budget.

Excellent User Experience
Dell offers dependable, customer-driven chassis designs with the OptiPlex 745, delivering reliability and ease of access in a variety of form factors that can meet your needs. Choose between a mini-tower, desktop, small form factor and ultra-small form factor for space-constrained environments. With every shape of chassis, you can take advantage of single-latch internal access, front-panel diagnostic and network LEDs and the ventilation and cooling benefits of Dell’s recent BTX chassis design.

For truly space-constrained environments, the ultra-small form factor can be configured with the innovative all-in-one monitor stand, which puts your OptiPlex 745 together with a Dell 17" flat panel monitor in a space smaller than most CRT monitors alone.

Intel Core Microarchitecture
The OptiPlex 745 takes advantage of Intel® CoreTM microarchitecture, which builds upon recent dual-core processor technology to deliver incredible computing performance while optimizing the power your system uses. This new microarchitecture leverages the Intel Q965 chipset and several key technologies like Intel Wide Dynamic Access, which allows your system to execute four processes per clock cycle, and Smart Memory Access, which uses the available bandwidth from the memory subsystem for faster access and optimal performance.

Intel Core 2 Duo Performance
The OptiPlex 745 features the Intel Core 2 Duo dual-core processor, which can provide up to 30% better system level performance than previous Intel dual-core processors2. Dual-core processors allow your system to split tasks between two processor cores so that they can share the load and get more done in less time. They can deliver a substantial performance increase over single-core processors for multi-threaded applications, multi-tasking environments or very demanding single-threaded applications, allowing you to work with noticeably quicker results.

High-Performance Graphics and Dual-Display Support
The OptiPlex 745 comes standard with integrated Intel graphics for good visual performance, but it also supports one PCI-e x16 graphics slot to enhance your system with an optional ATI® RADEON graphics card. ATI graphics can give you a good solution for graphically-intense applications and support for a dual-monitor configuration, so you can increase your viewing space for multiple applications or windows.

Optimized for Scalability
The Dell OptiPlex 745 delivers great scalability for today and the future by supporting up to 4 DIMM slots for up to 4GB3 of memory (except in the Ultra-Small Form Factor), multiple cores of Intel processing power and up to 2 hard drives for a maximum 500GB4 of storage. Because business users’ needs differ, these expansion possibilities help ensure that you get the performance you need at a price that suits your budget. The 745 delivers great flexibility when you’re configuring your system and great flexibility for growth in the future.
