com port

I just bought a desktop model C521. In the back of the computer it has 2 DB9 ports ( both female) one is for the monitor, I am not sure if the other one is a com port. My DP9 cable is also a female adaptor, do you think I need a female to male adaptor for my cable ? or I need a USB to DB9 cable adaptor ?

Thanks

The Dell users manual does not show a com port (and there is no com port on new PC's).

You will have to try the USB/Com port adapter to see if it will work.

However, what do you need the com port for? Many older hardware devices are not Windows XP compatible.
