XPS 8700 diagram
I have a new XPS 8700 computer. There was no printed diagram of the various ports included, neither could I find one in the on-line Owners Manual. I am looking for a guide to tell me what all the ports and slots on both the bezel and back are. Thanks!

Stereo Speakers are connected to the rear panel with the light green color.
If you have a 3.1 or 5.1 speaker setup that is where the other connections are used.
Orange is center channel/subwoofer
Grey is front surround left / right.
Black is back surround left / right

Can anyone explain this port diagram? The one labeled mic is reasonable clear althought there is a mic port on top of the computer too. I don't know what the purpose of the other ports is for. I would like to hook up speakers and don't know which port to use.
