What you pointed to as the Network Card is actually an M.2 SSD slot. The M.2 network slot is adjacent to it on the other side of SATA0 facing the other direction with the label 'M.2 WLAN'. If you look it has another anchor point in case you want to upgrade to a 2280 rather than the stock 2230. I have 3 of these. Upgraded with 1tb m.2 SSDs and dual wifi/BT module. People still in fact use optical drives. Myself being one of them. Itll play DVDs and Physical PC games. As a collector these pcs are great. They run emulators well and are reasonably quiet. Upgraded the RAM too. 16gb low profile 3200mhz LPX Vengeance.
If yours does not have wifi built in, you could add a PCIE WiFi half card to this. Something similar to this would work. amzn.to/46He88g You need to make sure it's a half card to it can fit the height of the machine. If you don't want to plug anything inside of it, you could install a USB wifi card like this: amzn.to/3M3cpAU or like this: amzn.to/3M3cpAU
That huge hard drive is horrible, I have an ssd and a hard drive like yours and every time I access the hard drive the PC slow down a bit, I can see the slowdown in opening the folders.

Thanks for catching that error. I overlooked the 2nd anchor point for the larger chips. thanks!
Hey man can you please let me know what is the wattage of the psu in this optiplex and can we upgrade psu ?
@@Meesaa06 The stock PSU is 200w. There are PSU upgrades 260w, 300w, and 500w.
@@FreakyFirestorm THANK YOU
Thanks so much for this very clear video with no waffling or music. Expecting one shortly and this is just what I need.
Have had many of these and the USFF (Ultra Small Form Factor) system they are great project boxes ! Great video this will help some beginners!
Are you sure it's a wifi card under the dvd drive? It supposed to be an NVME SSD m.2 drive.
I just paused the video using 4K resolution. Yup, it's confirmed it's an NVME SSD. It says Wester Digital 256GB.
Btw, great video.
Thanks!
Which wifi card could you add to this?

@@FernandoC thanks for the advice. Could you install a wifi card and a graphics card too? Or is there too little space?
@@hman4232 Standard M.2 wifi module will fit in the slot labeled 'M.2 WLAN".
I dont have a harddrive and the disc drive
intro ok
That huge hard drive is horrible, I have an ssd and a hard drive like yours and every time I access the hard drive the PC slow down a bit, I can see the slowdown in opening the folders.
@@BubuOZn If you wanna put an SSD in that spot you can get a 2.5" SSD and an adapter.
