Visual Guide to Ports and Connectors

 

The following guide provides historical and up-to-date information about the various ports and connectors in use with Dell computers.

We provide a picture of the port, a picture of the corresponding connector, and the name of the technology in use.

These ports and connectors are each limited to one purpose: Facilitating the flow of information into your computer. They are only found on older computers. Plug-and-play USB connectors and Wireless connections have replaced these connectors on newer computers.
