How to connect the storage system to the server via the FSP module on the switch?

Good afternoon!
Please tell me about the connection of the storage system. Before that, there was no experience with storage systems, and the former system administrator bought a storage system and a server, but without an FC controller in the server. I will explain in more detail what we have:
1. Fujitsu DX60 S2 data storage system, in which there are 2 controllers and each controller has 2 FC ports. The storage system does not support iSCSI connection.
2. Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX300 S8 server. without FC controller. The server has Windows Server 2012 R2
3 installed. There is an AT-8000GS/48 switch with an FSP module.
So I connected the storage system to the switch with a fiber-optic LC patch cord. But it is impossible to connect the storage system and the server. Am I doing the right thing, knowledgeable people please help me.
Question: Is it possible to connect the storage system to a switch with an FSP module via a fiber-optic LC patch cord and connect the storage system to the server via a LAN switch? I've looked through mountains of information, but I can't find anything like it. Tell me who can?
Thanks in advance.

You are not doing it right. So it won't work for sure.
And the protocols and transmission media you have are not compatible. The switch expects tcp\ip skhd gives SCSI, i.e. it's like connecting a hard drive to a network card.
You need an FC-HBA card (not a 10G network card with SFP, namely an HBA) in the server.

Everything is clear. I still figured it wouldn't work. This card is quite expensive. But you'll have to loosen up.
Thank you very much for the answer.

Is there anyone alive in this thread? At the very storage Fujitsu DX60 S2. FC connection directly to the server. Windows does not see the storage, well, in any way. in the skhd on ports the status of Link Down. What did I miss or do wrong? help out.
