Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

You need a power connection and a data connection to both drives.

 

The power connection is provided by the power supply. The data connection is a SATA cable which connects to SATA ports on the motherboard and the SATA connection on the drives.

 

You can check the Upgrading and Servicing guide (Link) for tips. Scroll down to review connections to the drives.

 

You can look at the motherboard at this (Link). Click on the (+) next to Privas.
