    Those are USB connections. There will be a front-panel USB header onthe motherboard. Look in the manual for specific details.

    I meant the motherboard manual. Look for the USB front panel headers.

    Well I've connected them with the power on, but then I know what I'm doing...
    I wouldn't advise it though.
    Unless there's some good reason not to turn it off, I would advise shutting down before doing it.
    This might help:

    Do you have the motherboard manual?
