Your hard drive uses a very special interface:
40-pin Fibre Channel backpanel connector (FCSCA)

You can look here for specific adapters (FCA-4200) and then getting a Fibre Channel cable, but this looks like a server level enterprise hard drive, can't find any FCSCA to SATA/IDE/USB convertor:

Here is the manual for your specific hard drive:

This is the best I can do. It was tough researching your Hard Drive. It's from 2007. Hope it helps.
