you need another sata cable, just look up sata cable on google and find a video on youtube how to hook it up to your motherboard or if you have the manual for your motherboard then it says in there how to hook it up more than likely.

All discs need one power cable from the PSU and one sata cable from the motherboard. According to the spec that pSU came with 8 power cables. (The black ones) If the disk didn't come with a sata cable you'll have to buy one.
OCUK and many many competitors sell them for pennies.
