@gerald2736,

 Inspect the leads from the existing hard drive.  The bigger lead is the SATA power lead. It runs to the power supply.  The other lead is for data, and it runs from the drive to the motherboard. There will be just one motherboard header left. The other runs back to the CD/DVD drive. You will need a SATA data cable, and look for a spare SATA power lead off the cabling.

 

Here is the manual for adding the drive. See pg 41.
