FPGA Board CCA 193426B-01​L

Question

Trying to find a complete User Confirguration File (UCF) or a schematic showing the mapping of the Spartan chip pin outs for the FPGA board devices and I/O.
Several years ago, at least 5, the Philadelphia School District purchased the NI FPGA Boards that actually went unused until recently and are now being integrated into a Digital Electronics (DE) Course that will include the FPGA Board in various DE projects.  To fully utilize the I/O and devices on the board itself we require User Configuration File data and/or a circuit schematic that will identify pin out connectivity from the embedded Xilinx FPGA to the various devices on the board (example Rotary Switch).  Some of the data is included in information we were able to find or already had (e.g. http://www.ni.com/pdf/products/us/cat_defpga.pdf,http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/372809b.pdf, http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_g​uides/ug385.pdf), but our information is incomplete.  A complete UCF or a schematic showing the mapping of the Spartan chip pin outs to usable devices on the board and its I/O pins/ports would greatly facilitate use of the board in our classroom projects.
I may be contacted directly via the email above or, you may reach the school and ask for me or Mr. Scott Koehler, Engineering Technology teacher, please see the attached link for the school: http://carver.phila.k12.pa.us/
We currently have ten (10) of the NI FPGA boards, which may at this point be dated, but still quite usable for school purposes.  We would like to integrate these boards to introduce students to FPGA technology, and will expand the equipment base and course breadth as we get the course content established.
Chip: Xilinx Spartan XC3S500E
Board: CCA 193426B-01L

Fernando,
Greatly appreciate your responsiveness.
We will be using Multisim, and have it installed, as part of the DE Course, but we also want to teach students using C-Language/Verilog/VHDL a variety of tools, and the JTAG programming port directly, and want to be able to direct I/O from the Spartan FPGA to a variety of devices on the CCA or connected externally.  So, I guess we want to get under the hood a bit, teach the tools comparatively, and complement Multisim usage, which is a great tool.
This board is a few years old, I am not sure if it is the current version or still in production.  Is there a complete UCF or a schematic that will identify Spartan pinouts to CCA devices and I/O?  What we are doing is updating, expanding the course and integrating the FPGA (that has gone unused until now) and other devices.
We have ten of the FPGA boards now.
