Explanation:

External devices that normally remain connected to the computer are usually plugged in on the back. This includes the monitor, mouse, keyboard, printer, modem, and network cable.

The diagram below shows the most common connections. The arrangement of these is quite varied from machine to machine. The name-brand computers often have unique designs with special connectors for the peripherals that are sold with the computer. There is a standard color scheme for ports and matching connectors, but not all manufacturers use it.

The different types of ports have different shapes to keep you from wasting a lot of time trying to force a plug into the wrong port. Some are shaped to make it impossible to insert a connector upside down. But... it can be hard to tell whether you have the connector upside down for USB ports.
