The drives are 50 pin, I bet if you take them out of the trays you will find standard Molex connectors.

That card will support 7 devices attached to it. Each drive must be assigned a unique SCSI ID from 0 to 7, and the card uses one of those ID's. The last drive in the chain must be terminated by jumper or an active terminator at the end of the cable, all drives in between must not be terminated.

I doubt that card has a bootable bios, so none of the drives on that chain can be used for a boot drive.

Hope you have a powerful PSU to run those things - and those old Barracudas have a very loud whine and run very hot.
