Dell OptiPlex 760, 780, 960 & 980 Spare Parts Cross-Reference Guide

The Dell OptiPlex 760, 780, 960 and 980 are long out of production but still in daily use in offices, schools and workshops. Dell no longer supplies parts for them, and the right spare is hard to identify because each model came in several case sizes that use different boards, heatsinks and cables.

This page cross-references the spares we hold for these models as physical stock at our warehouse in Pentre, South Wales. It also covers the related OptiPlex 380 and 580. Use Ctrl+F to search for the number printed on your part.

How to find your Dell part number

  • Dell part number: Dell parts carry a five-character code such as M863N, usually on a white barcode label after the letters DP/N.
  • Leading zero: the label normally shows the code with a zero in front, such as 0M863N. Search this page without the zero.
  • Check the case size: these models came as a mini tower (MT), desktop (DT), small form factor (SFF) and ultra small form factor (USFF). Most parts fit only one case size, so check the Fits column.

For other models, see the OptiPlex GX520, GX620, 745 and 755 guide and the OptiPlex 390, 790, 990, 3010, 7010 and 9010 guide. For more help, see our guide to finding part numbers on Dell, HP, Lenovo and Fujitsu parts.
