A Tour of Your Computer: Dell Inspiron 4100

 

Use this connector to attach the optional docking device, also called an 

advanced port replicator (APR). A docking device, or APR, allows you to 

easily use external devices with your computer, such as an external 

keyboard, mouse, or monitor.

See the documentation that came with your docking device for additional 

information.

You can use the integrated keyboard and an external keyboard at the same time. When 

you attach a keyboard or numeric keypad, the integrated numeric keypad is automatically 

disabled. 

 

Use this connector to attach PS/2-compatible devices, such as a mouse, 

keyboard, or external numeric keypad.

Shut down the computer before attaching or removing a PS/2-compatible 

device. If the device does not work, install the device drivers from the 

floppy disk or CD that came with the device, and restart the computer.

On an external keyboard, the 

 key acts the same way as the 

 

 key on the computer's keyboard (if the External Hot Key option is enabled 

in the system setup program).

 

Use this connector to attach USB devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, or 

printer.

 

Use this connector to attach an external monitor.
