Can anyone tell what which is the power slot, and what power cable to use?

Hi everyone, I fond this old computer in my garage. My son uses a laptop and I though it would be cool to let him use a computer. I remember getting it from my work, but I lost most of the cables. Here are pictures of the back of the computer:

Anyone help is appreciated, just need to know what type of power cable to use for it, and where to put it. Thanks!!!

That DA-2 8 pin connector is for power, the PC actually does not have a power supply so you have a laptop style power brick that then goes into the PC.

the socket labeled "Adapter Model DA2" that is where the power brick (PSU) connects to the unit. the PSU is external like a laptop and the power brick is needed to run that system.

I would buy the power brick

It uses a proprietary power brick. Model DA-2 (as it says on the case there).

So something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-OptiPlex-D220P-01-ADP-220AB-ZVC220HD12S1/dp/B00CFGVWXG

Using proprietary connectors. Oh, how I love those prebuuilt Dell systems.
So yes, the DA-2 connectorr is the one to be used. Links have already been postesd.
