Congrats and welcome. Awesome
You might want to save some files/programs in your secondary storage.

SSD's are sometimes bolted on an indent in the back. If the wires are not evident (you need 2, the power and SATA) you will find them in the box that came with your system and have to plug them into the psu (power) and mobo (SATA).
In addition, there are adapters to slide an SSD into a HDD (3.5") slot. Don't know how the Lynx is set up.

And as a last resort you can go with an external docking station like Snaike posted.

If still can't find them, contact [email protected]. He is their hardware guru.

Open the case, found the power and data cords, plugged them in and slid the SSD in one of the 3 open bays. Actually, because SSDs are thinner than regular HDD I was able to stack both SSDs in the same bay. Took about 10 minutes with instructions from the really smart people around here.

Oh the external docking is USB...
