loose wires in a PM G5 2.5 Ghz QUAD

bought a old G5 and it booted up a year ago and now that we moved it does not boot up. I noticed these two wires are unattached and was wondering where they attach?

Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

Not sure on those wires, but it doesn't seem they could come loose by themselves, does this G5 have the optional Airport/Bluetooth card,if not perhaps that is what they are for.
