From your picture those look like internal wireless card antenna connectors. Does your unit have an internal WIFI card? If it does then that is where those go, one will be the primary antenna the other an aux antenna. If I am not mistaken the black one is the primary antenna connector. If your system does not have an internal WIFI then just tuck those away so they do not short or get in the way of any fans.

You were spot on under some tape i found the connectors on the CM9 wireless card if you are right the black one connects to the main port, i found an image showing this as the layout for the card
