Here is my guess as to the function of the rear connectors:
Assuming the supplies test OK, I would first determine the ground pins. The UART port probably has a supply pin (+3.3V ?) in addition to RxD, TxD and ground.
I suspect that one of the two shorting (?) pins is grounded while the other could be connected to an R/B* pin of the NAND array, or perhaps to the controller via a dedicated pin.
