How does IR beacon connect to EDU RC?

In the diagram on FIRST website, the IR transimitters are connected to a 3-pin PWM port. And according the other documents, the beacon is supposed to be powered by the EDU RC. But the EDU RC we have only has 4-pin PWMs. So how do we go from 3-pin to 4-pin or are we missing something very obvious?

Our robot is driving and we have a arm that can go up to 8 ft. We have 17 days to figure out the autonomous mode. But without getting the IR beacon to working, we can't start automode programming.

Appreciate any help in advance.
