What can i do with the expansion bay in front cover in p6520nl

[schults]

I see on the front cover a door with written on it "expansion bay" what is the use of it. I see in the pc a hd cady with enough space for 2. I am going to put a ssd in that caddy. Can i perhaps put a 2nd hd in the expansion bay. But where can i find a power socket which i will need for a 2nd hd.

Because there is a split one on the existing hd which i am gonna use for the ssd. 

And after installing the ssd there is a spare sata socket, which i can use for .  .
