Will it work in a Dell Studio 540 Slim desktop? It has 2 PCIex1 slots. Any issue using it fully enclosed in case?

No this card is for laptops not desktops, your computer need a mini wireless card with external antennas

It will work as long as you install a PCIe to Mini PCIe adapter. There are adapters with external antennas specifically for this purpose.

Not sure if that has a regular-size motherboard. You may not have enough slots. By all means contact Dell and tell them what you want to do - then ask if it is doable. Good luck cb

Looks like it should have a PCIe 1X and 16X slot. This card will work in the 16X slot, but most likely you'll have a video card in this slot. It will not work in the 1X slot. Do a google image search for PCIe 2X, 8X and 16X slots and compare the images to your slots.

It will work but you need it to line up with mounting holes and fan opening, go google replacement for dell 540 studio and get back to Amazon to buy

That's going to be a tight fit! I would think (especially with how cramped the rest of the case is) probably not. That full slot is directly above the CPU location on most main boards. I personally haven't used it for a graphics card. I just use a low profile card in mine. Also, it doesn't come with any PCI Express extension cables to allow remote mounting

Depends on the case you are going to install it into. If you are using a proprietary case from a brand name company like Apple, Dell, etc., you will probably have nothing but problems. Best to install it in an empty case with power supply, compatible memory, processor, drives and other hardware of your choice. The specs at Gigabyte's website will give you more information as to compatible components.

I was going to say go to the Dell web site but I just looked, their entire presentation of this model is aimed at the layman and doesn't really say much. under slots it only lists memory, call Dell or maybe look inside to see if you have a pci-e slot.

its a full size card, i dont think it will fit in your chassis,sorry bout that :(

To the best of my knowledge any pcie can work in any larger sized slot... ie x4 will fit in x8 or x16 so im pretty certain that x1 will fit into any. Your main consideration with this would be the speed of the slot itself, pci has different versions, 1,2,3. Basically what I'm saying is that it should work, it should power and it should read but dependant on your motherboard your speed may be halved. I assure you that you will still get ~100MBps speed from internal hdd to your usb drives. Any further questions or quieries, please respond, glad to help.

Greetings, Good question. No, the compact chassis does not allow for any PCI-E expansion. Best regards, MITXPC

I have bought this card 1 unit last year. It fit with my DELL 3010DT running in Windows 7 without any problem.I check that your model have 1 half height PCIe x16 and 1 half height PCIe x16(wired x 4).I think this card will not fit with your PC model

It should depends on the size of your box. It is standard PCIe slot and the card is standard size as well. I think it should be fine. But if your box is much slim than others, then you might need to keep looking

We only have small form factor machines, so i cant speak for the Desktop form factor. Bit it works with the standard power supply in the Optiplex GX series.

It only uses One physical Slot, But takes up two spaces worth. Most motherboards have the PCIe slots spaced enough that this is not an issue.

You shouldn't have aay problems. It work just fine in the dell dimension 4700

Yes. To quote the PCI Express article in Wikipedia: "A PCIe card physically fits (and works correctly) in any slot that is at least as large as it is (e.g., an x1 sized card will work in any sized slot)." My own experience confirms this and I know I've used the card in either x4 or x16 slots previously.
