Firewire connections on case?

I was looking at connecting my firewire port on the top of my case to the mobo pins the other day. From what I remember everthing looked straight forward except the ground wires. The case wires only had one ground wire but the mobo had three pins for ground. The case manual did not explain much.

Anyone know if connecting all three grounds in necessary? Wouldn't one ground be enough?

Case - Thermaltake Tsunami
Mob- eVGA 680i
 
Ground is ground, shouldn't need more than one. I couldn't find a clear picture of the port on the motherboard so I cannot be more clear. EVGA's site kinda sucks for a knowledgebase on this product, no manual or anything useful about this product. My advice would be to hook it up and see if it works, also make sure to turn it on in bios.

evga . pinout is on page 73, pins 3 4 and 10 are grounds, I agree with zolty, should only need to connect one.
