@j3sar1,

Does this photo of the HP 790 series motherboard match-up with your board?

It shows 4 SATA data headers.

1) If you have a DVD drive you have a SATA power plug on the same line. 

2) The DVD data line must lead back to a SATA data header.

@j3sar1,

It's OK.

PS<> I do not have a pic of the chassis hard drive bays, but I will assume you will need HP blue Isolation screws to allow any 3.5" HD to slide into the bay and lock into position.
