What type of hard drives are you using? SCSI?

That's a SCSI cable. Looks like the server takes a SCSI drive. As for where to hook up the drives, well, it's a little difficult for me to tell based on the picture, but it looks like spots #5 will be your best bet. Typically drives are installed on the front of the chassis.

no,,,were on the motherboard do i hook the hard drive up.I SEE THE the cable has 7 open cuplings on it.and the drive i got that did not come with it is a quantum-viking 2.- 3.5 SERIES. PX9.1 LVD.AND WINDOWS XP LOADS UP .BUT WHEN IT GETS TO SEEIING THE DRIVE,,,,NO DICE.
