Hi, jncw03:

Here is a link to your service manual, which has all the instructions you need. Looking at the system board, it does appear to have a single IDE connector, to which you may connect two IDE devices. And you would need to configure this in system setup under PRI IDE (in drives).

Where you physically attach the drive, I cannot say. You'll need to look around inside the case.

Good luck!
