Plug it into one of the USB ports on the front of your PS4. The console should recognize it and prompt you to format it for use. Easy peasy!

First, make sure the external hard drive is at least USB 3.0 and has a capacity between 250GB and 8TB. Connect it to a USB port on your PS4, then go to Settings > Devices > USB Storage Devices. Select your hard drive, and choose 'Format as Extended Storage'. Done and done!
