    Hey guys. What is the port above the USB port on the rear of the D830? I think Dell lists it as a USB, but I dont think that is right. Any ideas?

    It's a power port for USB devices that require more than 5V of power. Check out their D/Bay (I think that's what they're called) devices such as external DVD/RWs and hard drives.
