Having a bit of trouble getting power to the cRIO, wondering if someone could shed some light on which connectors to put the wires into. Thanks, guys! :)
V for Voltage (aka red or positive terminal), C for Common (aka black or negative terminal).
My team uses the outer terminals on the connector so there's no confusion about what is in which slot. Just make sure your connections are equally correct on the PDB side of that cable.

Based on the "Wiring the 2013 FRC Control System" guide1 (http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/8559/l/92626-wiring-the-2013-frc-control-system) found linked from the "Getting Started With the 2013 Control System" guide2 (http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/8559) linked from "2013 Technical Resources"3 (http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/frc/2013-Technical-Resources) linked from the FRC Game Manual4 (http://frc-manual.usfirst.org/),
You can use the following picture to wire your cRio appropriately:
