The computer’s back panel contains various ports and connectors for attaching exter-
nal devices and includes a security cable slot. These features are described in the 
following subsections.
For information about enabling, disabling, or configuring input/output (I/O) ports and 
connectors, see Chapter 3, “Using the System Setup Program.” For detailed descrip-
tions and illustrations of each port and connector on the back panel, see “I/O Ports 
and Connectors” in Appendix B.

You can connect various external devices, such as a mouse and printer, to the I/O 
ports and connectors on the computer’s back panel. The system BIOS detects the 
presence of most external devices when you boot or reboot the system. When con-
necting external devices to the computer, follow these guidelines:
‡
Check the documentation that accompanied the device for specific installation 
and configuration instructions.
For example, most devices must be connected to a particular I/O port or connec-
tor to operate properly. Also, external devices like a mouse or printer usually 
require you to load software files called 
device drivers into system memory before 
they will work. These software drivers help the computer recognize the external 
device and direct its operation.
‡
Dell recommends that you attach external devices 
only while the computer is turned 
off unless you are instructed otherwise in the documentation for the particular device. 
Then turn the computer on before turning on any external devices unless the doc-
umentation for the device specifies otherwise. (If the computer does not seem 
to recognize the device, try turning on the device before turning on the 
computer.)

On the back of the computer are a security cable slot and padlock ring (see Figure 1-3) 
for attaching commercially available antitheft devices. Security cables for personal 
computers usually include a segment of galvanized cable with an attached locking 
device and key. To prevent unauthorized removal of the computer, loop the cable 
around an immovable object, insert the locking device into the security cable slot on 
the back of the computer, and lock the device with the key provided. Complete 
instructions for installing this kind of antitheft device are usually included with the 
device.
NOTE: Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before purchasing such a device, 
make sure it will work with the cable slot on the computer.
