The logo isn't that reliable but it's usually slim side up. Not sure about sideways ports though.
Only usually
I say usually but it's basically the rule. Of all my things only the QNAP NAS has a slim side down port, and maybe that's some other convention I'm not aware of since it's for the copy-data port. That's among a random pile consisting of a Cisco networking equipment, Intel NUC, old macbook, new microsoft and HP laptops, a hdmi/usb switch, ps4, and a raspberry pi
