Adding a 2nd Hard Drive

Dell's instructions for adding a 2nd hard drive to my Optiplex GX620 say to move the 1st hard drive to the lower bay and install the new hard drive in the upper bay. What is the reason for that? I'm just wanting to add more storage but keep my original drive as the boot drive.
 
Thanks,
 
Nic

    I added a 250 GB hard drive today on my GX-260 and this was the only way using cable select to make the original drive the master and the new drive the slave.  Otherwise it was not possible to attach the cables.
