Adding 2nd HD to D 4700

Question

I have a SATA drive in a D 4700. Looking at board drawing iin the documentation, it looks like I can add a 2nd SATA drive. Do I need a serial cable too? how about power cable? thanks.

(yes I could open the case and look except the computer is 45 minute drive away :)

luuie   If you but the OEM [bare] hard drive, then you will need to buy the data cable, if it's the boxed retail version, then the cable is included, there should be a spare power connector and cable, already inside the case for second drive.

Yes, you need a SATA data cable. The power supply has a second SATA power cable if you need it.

be careful of the harddrives temperature.  The 4700 has some cooling problem, so you dont want the harddrive to overheat.
