Its a hard drive just like this one.
What are those entrances for? Do we need them?

Theyre for jumpers. I think on some of them you change it so it supported SATA 1

If it didnt get recognised in the BIOS on older systems

If you go to the manufacturer's site, it'll tell you what theyre for

left to right sata power connector, sata data connector, empty space i forgot, pins with jumper are for legacy hdd forced settings of : power management [spindle rpm low power control] , master drive, slave drive, cable select, ( for older boards when with even older south bridge chipsets & EIDE ribbon cable connectors were used), legacy molex power connector.

do you need them, i do not know, you listed no specs of your equipment, not even a complete picture of the interior of your systems i could read model numbers from.

are you running raid?
are you running sata and EIDE hard disk drives together?
