Do you have SATA power connected along with data? Can you hear/feel them vibrating when you turn the computer on? What operating system? How are you trying to format them?

If they dont show up in windows you have to assign a drive letter first, guide is here:

works the same way with HDD's.

 

If they dont even show up in BIOS, you either connect / plug them in wrong or your motherboard is broken. There is no chance that 4 HDD's are all faulty.

Are they visible in the partition manager?
