Which form factor is your optiplex? Only the mini tower and desktop models have a second hard drive bay:

It apparently goes where the floppy disk drive normally goes:

where is the power cable for second hard drive

After some digging through the dell forums, it appears that the optiplex 755 Desktop model has four sata ports on the motherboard but only two sata power cables. That sucks.

If the power supply has a spare 4 pin molex connector you could buy a molex to sata power adapter maybe?
