setting up new Geekom mini IT11pc
I just purchased a geekom Mini IT11 computer and it arrived today. There is no actual information included to explain what some of the ports are on this new computer, in fact the information is extremely limited on setting it up or using it.
The picture / information that came with it states USB 3.2 Gen2 port and shows that there are 3 of them and then it states 2 USB4 ports - guessing that is the same as usb4+DP (whatever that means), the hdmi port, a mini display port connector (not sure what that is either).
I know that the hdmi port is for the computer monitor, but what is a mini display port and what do I use it for; also what is a USB4+DP port and what gets plugged into those ports?
I realize that companies send very little information on setting up a computer anymore, I have had 3 other desktop computers over the past 16 years, so this isn't the first time I am using a new computer, but for some reason I am just confused.
Could someone explain to me what the hdmi mini port / mini display port connector is and what it is used for as well what a USB4+DP Port is and what it is used for.
Thank You
