stereo speakers (speakers with built-in ampliers), headphones, multimedia
keyboards, or the audio line-in connector on a stereo system or other external
recording device.
DisplayPort connector
Used to attach a high-performance monitor, a direct-drive monitor, or other devices
that use a DisplayPort connector.
Ethernet connector
Used to attach an Ethernet cable for a local area network (LAN).
Note: To operate the server within FCC Class B limits, use a Category 5 Ethernet
cable.

Used to attach a microphone to your server when you want to record sound or if
you use speech-recognition software.
