OptiPlex 5040 Small Form Factor

hello, i have a optiplex 5040 sff. i have recently upgraded it to use the M.2 slot, with a SSD.  That's all fine, it works, but, when i connected a HDD through SATA, the pc doesn't "see" it?  it shows up on task manager, but not anywhere else?  Can anyone help?

Open Disk Management to initialize the new HDD.  Run the wizard to create partition and format the HDD (Right click on the unallocated HDD).  It will become visible for usage.
