I am refurbishing a Dell Dimension 9200 for a friend. The I/O Panel is
missing the audio connector jumper block. Can anyone point me to the
wiring info for this jumper block?

Sorry it didn't work out. But we have some knowledgeable people here
so don't give up hope. I've got a 9200 myself so when I can get to
it, I'll see if I can crack it open. Refresh my memory what am I
looking for again .
The 9200 I/O panel is horizontally positioned across the front of the
machine. It carrys the front-panel mic, headphone and USB sockets on
its lower surface, together with the diagnostic LEDs and the power
switch.
If you remove the computer side cover, you should see the end of the
panel if you look carefully. With the optional Soundblaster X-Fi card
installed, there will be a cable from the header on the end of the
panel going to the the proprietary connector on the Soundblaster. If
you have the standard motherboard audio, there's a jumper block
plugged into the header instead of the cable.

This would be a great time to take a photo and upload it to tinypic.com and
link it back here.
I don't know that I've actually seen this front I/O in any detail. Had no
idea there was a jumper if no SB PCI card was present.
