I recently got a MiniITX motherboard that has a header for HDD activity LEDs, RESET and POWER.
The problem is that the front panel of my case come with two Pins for each function, and the Motherboard specifies 1 Pin for each function, and Im not familiar with this.
The header on the motherboard has 24 pins, and the manual has this description:

Im not sure how to read those and where to connect my front pannel Power, Reset and HDD Leds.
The manual also has a definition for the connector, like this:

Thanks to all for your help.

Your pictures aren't working for me but I'm guessing your case comes with pins like "HDD+" and "HDD-" and the motherboard and manual list something like "HDD LED". If so, put the case's "+" pin on the pin named in the manual and put the "-" pin on a ground pin (for example "HDD+" goes to the "HDD LED" pin and "HDD-" goes to a "GND" pin). The Power and Reset pins from the case may or may not have + and - on them: it doesn't matter which goes on the named pin and which goes on ground.
