You'll need to use the serial terminal attached to the scsi box to define
some raid containers comprised of the disks in the array, once you do that
a disk volume should appear on the scsi bus that looks and acts like a
normal scsi disk to the host OS.

You'll need to scare up a manual.

inidcate you (or the original purchaser) didn't buy the battery backup
option on the controller card.

I have no idea if the scsi adapter you mention is currently supported.
