Help added USB drive to MAC Server

I need to add a new external USB hard drive to a MAC Server.  

I have a over a decade of experience with Windows Servers, but very little with MAC servers.  
So I need some general help/instructions now, as well as possibly needing specific help later today in a quick fashion.

The MAC Server already has an external RAID array (firewire?) connected and the contents of the drives are shared to all users on the network.  

The new external USB drive has already been used on a MAC laptop and contains data.

I expect that I will attach the new external drive to the server, and I will be able to see the folders/files on the server console.   I'll need help maing those folders accessible to everyone on the network.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'm not well versed on the MAC terminology.

By "console" I mean using the monitor/keyboard/mouse connected directly to the server box.
I imagine that I'll be able to accessing it via "Server Admin / Workgroup Manager".

Sorry everyone.... the schedule was changed..... will be attempting this morning..... standby.

And thanks!
Sorry... need help here.... I can't find my way around the Server.
I'm on the "console"... the monitor/keyboard on the server, logged in as Admin.
I've connected the Drive and I see it just find on the Server.
I've created a folder called "Shared Items" on the drive, and moved the files/folders all there.
How do I SHARE that new folder?   I can't find out how to get to the ACL or how to tell it to share with everyone on the network.    This is a second external hard drive and I'm trying to mimic how the first one was setup.

Sorry... I really don't know my way around a MAC server well.
