Install 2nd Hard Drive on Area 51

I would like to know how to install a second hard drive on my Area 51 desktop. I can see that it has 6 hard drive bays. Do I just drop the new one in one of the bays or do I have to change some other settings before I do this. I have never installed a second drive before and I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

It's pretty much plug and play, all you need to do is to plug it in and Windows will recognize it without issues if it's fully compatible.
