iMac 27 Late 2009; possible to solder&activate a third internal SATA?

Hi,
the late 2009 Model doesn't have a 3rd SATA on board, though is has the corresponding solder pads on the PCB. When I look in System Profiler, there's no 3rd empty SATA port shown (unlike in [http://www.spirica.jp/blog/archives/2010/08/imac_mid_2010_27inch_ssd.html|this] guide, which applies for newer models).
Thus is seems there's missing more than a connector and two resistors to get a 3rd port. On the other hand i'm feeling challenged to dig deeper ever since i disassembled my iMac in order to realize I'm missing the port.
Does anyone knows more about this?
