Hi bokjeid,

The DR1000 does not have the 'sleep mode' from the DR800 (probably due to some hardware constrain). There is however a mechanism that puts the DR into an 'idle mode' when there is no user interaction for a few seconds. This does save some power, but not as much as the specific DR800 mode.

The slot in the middle is a development connector. Its functions are not documented, but it is assumed that it has a serial port and presumably also a 2nd usb. But that is all guess work based on messages that have been posted here by several people the last few years.
