Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro Setup and specifications guide | Dell US: F2 to enter BIOS; power on during AC Recovery
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/16
These were the two most important bits for me from [Wayback/Archive] Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro Setup and specifications guide | Dell US:
-
Entering BIOS setup program
- Turn on your computer.
- Press F2 immediately to enter the BIOS setup program.
-
Power management
Table 1. Power Management OPTION DESCRIPTION AC Recovery Determines how the system responds when AC power is re-applied after a power loss. You can set the AC Recovery to: - Power Off
- Power On
- Last Power State
This option is Power Off by default.
The last step is from [Wayback/Archive] Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro Setup and specifications guide | Dell US: Power management
Oh: and some differences between the Dell OptiPlex 3060/5060/7060 Micro models at [Wayback/Archive] Differences between Dell OptiPlex 3060 vs. 5060 vs. 7060:
Leaving aside the M.2, probably the only meaningful difference between the OptiPlex 3060M and 5060M/7060M is that the latter comes with a USB 3.1 Type C port. This port has double the transfer speed (10 Gb/s) compared to a USB 3.0 port (5 Gb/s).
You can observe vhis in a comparison with the predecessor: [Wayback/Archive] Hardware Corner: Dell OptiPlex 3050M vs. Dell OptiPlex 3060M Comparison.
The last two links via [Wayback/Archive] dell micro 3060 vs 7060 – Google Search and [Wayback/Archive] dell “micro” 3060 vs 3050 – Google Search.
Finally, the processor list is quite interesting: it features an Intel® Core™ i7-8700T Processor that has 6 cores (totalling 12 threads) and a Max Turbo Frequency of 4.00 GHz and is available in both the 3060, 5060 and 7060 models..
Not mentioned in the spec is that it can host 64 gibibytes of memory too!
