Display Port Connection type

I just purchased a Dell Workstation Precision 3630 Tower 6-Core i7-8700 off of eBay and discovered none of my monitor plugs fit the computer. At first glance/attempt, I tried a HDMI plug - does not fit. 
HELP! What type plug fits the display ports on this computer?

    Assuming you do not have a discrete video card, the port would be Display Port (DP) as seen on this Amazon page. You need a DP cable or assuming you do not have a DP port on your monitor, then a DP to HDMI cable such as seen on this Amazon page.. If you have a discrete card then you need to post the model number of the card.

    A Displayport plug will fit the display ports on your computer.  Obtain the cables as suggested by JOcean and connecting the monitor to Displayport #5 as pictured below.
