It could be for either. The Nuvoton IO controller (at least the one used 
by the Intel MB I have) supports both a receiver, and two transmit 
'channels'.

You'll probably need to open the case up and see where the cable from 
the 'EXIR' jack connects to on the motherboard. There should hopefully 
be some sort of meaningful identifier printed adjacent on the circuit 
board. Also, if you've not already done so, identifying the make / model 
of motherboard, and downloading its manual will probably provide more 
information on the CIR capabilities.

The thought did just occur to me that maybe the case / system you have 
already has the IR receiver part integrated into the front of the case, 
and connected internally to the MB, leaving the rear connector for 
optional IR transmitter(s). Identifying the MB CIR connectors, and what 
is connected to them should clarify things either way.
