I was installing a PCIe card and somehow accidentally knocked lose two tiny cords. I don't know what they are or where to hook them back up. The one end of them goes to the power supply box, but I can't figure out where the connectors go.
These are the cords:

If anybody can help me figure out where to reattach them, it would be greatly appreciated. Some kind of photo or diagram would be even better.
Thanks!

Hi:
The antenna wires attach to the wireless network adapter. Looking at the picture of the motherboard below, I believe you will find the wifi adapter located just below the light and dark blue SATA ports located on the lower right side of the illustration.
The wifi adapter will have two terminals on it where the ends of the antenna cables snap onto.
A picture of a representative wifi adapter is below the motherboard picture.

UPDATE: I'm thinking maybe these have something to do with the wifi? I turned on the computer and have no wifi. When I run diagnostics, it says "a network cable is not properly plugged in". I'm assuming that's it...I just don't know where to plug them in.
