Hi,

Are you familiar with motherboards and what a SATA connection looks like? If you answer is yes and you see an unused SATA connection then feel free to use it. 

 

If your answer is no, then I will look at the motherboard specs to find a motherboard configuration diagram for you.

Thanks for the quick repsonse. I know what the sata connection looks like. There seem to be a number of them in the lower left corner of you diagram. I wasn't sure if they had specific asignments.
