To sum it up I want to connect this:

You could use a Media Converter. Here are some examples.

You can get what you need at microcenter for about 10 bucks

Pull the GBIC out of the Host1 port on the RAID box, and stick it in one of the empty SFP slots on your switch. You'll also need a fiber cable to connect the two, but that's easy enough.

Beyond that, go find some documentaton online on how to configure that thing with an address and do something useful with it, cause physical connectivity is only the start. ;)
