SCSI Drivers required to find HDs

I have some old Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers that I am installing Windows Server 2003 on over the old OS. I boot from the CD hit enter to install windows, and It says I do not have any hard drives. Thinking this was because there was no SCSI controller driver I hit F6 to install a third party SCSI driver, but then setup asked for a driver disk in the A drive. This server does not have an floppy drive. It only has a DVD drive. How can I get windows setup to detect my SCSI hard drives if my server does not have a floppy drive to install the drivers from?

You have to hook up a floppy drive.
