That sticker that says plug here, but it doesn't tell you the top or bottom one. :P

Seriously it does not matter, as long as it's connected and you set it as one of the boot devices, it will boot up.

SSD in the top OS drive slot and HDDs in the two Sata ports next to it

 

Why don't you just read a manual it's not that hard and would easily explain it
