You will have to replace the 3.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

 

I recommend you use this adapter which is the same size as a 3.5" drive, the SSD fits inside the adapter and it should bolt up exactly the same way the 3.5" drive is currently installed.

Then you just plug the SATA data and power cables into the adapter.
