View the first link, with the photo of the FIC VC37GV motherboard.
As shown, Processor is at the top, Ram Memory slots are to the right.
The Front Panel header is located at the very bottom right corner.
It is parallel to the outside edge of the motherboard. There are two rows of pins.

The Front Panel header has 5 pins going across the top, and 4 pins across the bottom.
The top row of pins are numbered Odd.
The bottom row of pins are numbered Evenly.
