OMEN 30L Desktop PC GT13-1000a (207P6AV)
Microsoft Windows 11

My Omen 30 l has 2 SSD 1 TB installed. Recently  I installed an extra HDD drive in one of the two empty drive bays (FP5). Now I want to install a SSD in the existing emty drive bay (FP6). That drive bay has no hdd cable, so the disk won't run. Is this a normal situation. So yes, somebody a solution.

Thanx,

 

Top bay on the right has a powercable marked P5 and a SATA-cable marked  HDD.

2nd bay on the right has a powercable marked P6 and no SATA-cable. 

I also have free space to connect the second SATA-cable on the motherboard. 

Is it a an assembly faillure that its not there or isn"t it there for a reason? 

Already installed a Sata-cable and everything is working

Indeed, as you have seen in my other answers, this is normal.
Sometimes one or more SATA cables are present, but in most computers the user must purchase the missing cable.
