Those connectors plug into the front panel pin block.
The pwr and hdd led pairs are polarity sensitive.
The colored sides are + and the black/white are ground.
The pwr and reset pairs are momentary contact switches and are not polarity sensitive.
Not to worry, if you get them wrong, no damage will occur.
If the led does not light, reverse them.
You can get some strange behavior if. for example the hdd pair is connected to the reset pins.

Look carefully in the manual at the front panel header.
There will be a spot with no pins that will help you orient the diagram.
