Precision 3620 Tower - are display ports dual-mode / multi mode ?
I have a Precision 3620 Tower and want to know if the display ports are dual-mode/multi-mode.
Need to know so I can buy the proper adapter (passive vs active).

In addition to what @Mary G has posted the general rule is :
How do I know if my DisplayPort is dual-mode?
A quick way to check whether you can use a passive adapter is to see if the DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort source has the DP++ symbol above it. The symbol is a D with a P inside of it, with two + signs to the left, one on top of the other.
If you do not see the ++ symbols then you probably need an active adapter. More on that from Tripp-Lite here.
