Dell OptiPlex GX150, GX240, GX260, GX270 & GX280 Spare Parts Cross-Reference Guide
The older Dell OptiPlex GX desktops left production many years ago, yet some still run factory machines, laboratory instruments and software that will not work on anything newer. Parts for them are now very hard to find, and many are identified only by a short Dell number printed on a label.
This page cross-references the spares we hold for these models as physical stock at our warehouse in Pentre, South Wales. It covers the OptiPlex GN, GX1, GX50, GX60, GX100, GX150, GX240, GX260, GX270 and GX280, the SX260, SX270 and SX280, and the 170L and 210L. 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 2H301, usually on a white barcode label after the letters DP/N. On cables it is printed on a small flag label.
- Leading zero: later labels show the code with a zero in front, such as 0W5028. Search this page without the zero.
- Check the case size: most of these models came as a mini tower, desktop and small form factor (SFF), and the SX models are ultra small form factor (USFF). Most parts fit only one case size, so check the Fits column.
- Shared parts: many cables were used across several GX models, so the same number appears more than once below.
For newer models, see the OptiPlex GX520, GX620, 745 and 755 guide.
