sorry to say this, but it looks like your computer doesn't have a firewire port...unless it's on the front. if those panels are still there, it means that there are no peripheral cards installed, cuz you take them off when there's something installed.

You have to remove the panels from the interior. Open the side walls and take off the cover. If you claim the firewire is behind one of the panels, remove the fire wire from that port thingy then take out the panel. Hope that helps. Sorry I dont ahve a desktop in front of me so I cant really look at one to be more descriptive

Yeah you do not have a firewire. You cant have a card installed and one of the metal covers installed into the same slot. They are fairly inexpensive and easy to install however.
