On the machine I have here, that's a square shaped, digital out port.
Yes, that's the correct port.
There's no light on it or the similar looking port below it.
Should be red.
I don't have anything that uses those ports, so do not know if they
work
Probably doesn't work. The light is the way this port communicates,
it's a "optical" digital audio out port.
Since I built this machine
from parts of others that were trashed in various ways, so its
possible
that those ports do not work on this machine.
Possible, and likely.
What sort of cable or device hooks to those ports?
An optical digital cable. It's a fiber-optic cable.
If I knew, and had one, then I could check to see if they work?
Probably not, unless you have something that can accept optical
digital audio output?
