open a support case with Dell.

Just checked one of my 7040's it's a SFF and is showing only chassis type 3.

Is yours a Micro? I think I have a 7040 Micro let me check...

Checked my 7040 Micro and it reports the same as yours, both type 2 and type 3 
with System Enclosure 1 showing Type 2 and Enclosure 0 showing Type 3. Don't 
know why it would be displaying both types.

3 = Desktop, 2= Unknown

Subject: [mssms] Dell Optiplex 7040 Multiple ChassisTypes

Has anyone seen a case where systems are reporting multiple ChassisTypes in the 
System Enclosure portion of HWINV?  Never seen this prior to the Dell Optiplex 
7040 in my environment, but this model is reporting the expected ChassisType 3 
for desktop as well as a 2 for Unknown.  Does not seem to be anything 
fundamentally different between these and the preceding 9020 model which did 
not exhibit this issue.  Was thinking it was something with BIOS but different 
revs make no difference and nothing obvious to disable in the BIOS to remove 
the unknown Chassis Type.  Only reason I care is it is throwing off data in 
some of our queries/reports.
