Do the two wires have any markings on the connectors?

Read the motherboard manual and it will tell you where they go..

I bet you're referring to the additional hdd led connectors. Orange and white wires? Antec cases come with 3 of those. I always remove the front of the case, pull two of those wires back thru the case and tie wrap them in a tight bundle for storage between the case and the case front panel. Then snap the front panel back in place.

You can use any of the 3. Just determine which led you want to refer to on the front of the case and trace the wires back so you can plug in the right one.
