[[File:AMIGA500-3.jpg|thumb|290px|Backside of the base of the Amiga 500. From left to right, it features two [[Atari joystick port]]s, two audio connectors, a floppy drive port, a serial and a parallel port, a power input, and two separate inputs for RGB and monochrome monitors.{{Sfn|Introduction to the Amiga 500|1987|p=2-1}}]]

* Two [[Atari joystick port]]s for [[joystick]]s or [[Mouse (computing)|mice]]
* Stereo audio [[RCA connector]]s ({{val|1|u=V}} [[Peak-to-peak|p-p]])
* A floppy drive port (DB23F), for daisy-chaining up to 3 extra floppy disk drives via a [[D-subminiature|DB23F]] connector<ref name="gbwxgm"/>
* A standard [[RS-232]] serial port (DB25M)
* A [[parallel port]] (DB25F)
* Power inlet ({{val|+5 |u=V}}, {{val|p=±|12 |u=V}})<ref name = "itgehi" />
* [[Amiga video connector]]: Analogue [[RGB color model|RGB]] {{val|50|ul=Hz}} PAL and {{val|60 |u=Hz}} NTSC video output, provided on an Amiga-specific [[DB23]]M connector. Can drive video with {{val|15.75 |u=kHz}} [[Horizontal sync|HSync]] for standard Amiga video modes. This is not compatible with most [[Video Graphics Array|VGA]] monitors. A [[Multisync monitor]] is required for some higher resolutions. This connection can also be [[genlock]]ed to an external video signal. An [[RF modulator|RF adapter]] (A520) was frequently bundled with the machine to provide output on regular televisions or on [[composite video|composite]] monitors. A digital 16 colour Red-Green-Blue-Intensity signal is available too on the same connector.
* Monochrome video via an [[RCA connector]]
* [[Zorro II]] bus expansion on the left side behind a plastic cover
* Trapdoor slot under the machine, for RAM expansion and [[real-time clock]]
