adding a 2nd ssd to a pavilion 590-p0066

[Tsoilihoi2]

I replaced by primary 1TB drive with an SSD Samsung 1TB using a carrier I purchased from Amazon.  Works very well!  I noticed that there was a 2nd power cable available and a place for another 3.5 in carrier adapter (to handle another 2.5 inch SSD)  However, one input port is used for the main drive and the 2nd for the optical drive.  I can not find a third.  I can not find a labeled schematic for the linc motherboard.  I have 4 external sata drives, so adding another is not essential.  I am having a hard time locating technical info for this computer.  I had a 3 year hardware warranty, but discovered that HP considered it an "old" machine, the year I bought it.  Go figure.  But love to know where the 3rd plugin port is or whether I will have to give up the optical drive.  I don't want to use one of those ssd drives that looks like a memory stick... the primary Samsung ssd drive is well and good.  thx in advance.  PB
