Could someone give me a quick rundown of the different connecters on a DK Edge connector and which spots on the PCB they plug into. My DK machine does not use an Edge connector and I cannot figure out what needs to be plugged where. And where does the Rainbow Cable plug in and out of?

Thanks
 
A DK will have a harness using multiple little black connectors attached to various places on the pcb.
The other type harness just connects to the edge connector on the pcb.
That is the only time the rainbow cable is needed.
Here is a diagram that shows where the little black connectors go to.
Every connection is labeled on the pcb.

If you're using the little connectors, you don't need the rainbow cable.

...you could always get a little connector to edge connector adapter, hook it all up once, and never have to worry about it again :)

Where does one find this adapter?

If you have the 4-board set there is no edge connector. Otherwise look at the diagram for the 2-board set.
