Voltage Selection Switch

The voltage selection switch must be set to match the AC power available at your location. The switch should be set for 115 V in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. For most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East, the switch should be set for 230 V.

NOTE: The voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V.

Parallel Connector

Connect a parallel device, such as a printer, to the parallel connector. If you have a USB printer, plug it into a USB connector.

Serial Connector

Connect a serial device, like a handheld device, to the serial connector.

Mouse Connector

Plug a standard mouse into the green mouse connector. If you have a USB mouse, plug it into a back-panel USB connector.

Keyboard Connector

If you have a standard keyboard, plug the keyboard into the purple keyboard connector. If you have a USB keyboard, plug it into a back-panel USB connector.

USB Connectors

NOTICE: This computer supports the use of a USB hub. However, do not connect two or more USB hubs to a USB connector. Doing so may cause the computer to unexpectedly reboot.

HINT: If you attach a USB device that was not included in your original computer order, you may need to install a specific driver to make the device work. Check the documentation that came with the device or contact the USB device manufacturer for more information.

For quick connections, Dell recommends using the front USB connectors for USB devices such as digital cameras, gaming controllers, and scanners. Use the back-panel USB connectors for USB mouse and keyboard connections.
