New Job Need help setting up a M1000e and PS6010

Hey Guys,
I am in a bit over my head here. I just started a new job with a small company. I think there is about 8 of us and only 3 with any technical background. They think since I have a background in help desk /IT work that I have set up servers but I still want to give it my best shot.I was able to get both the M1000e and the Equal logic PS6010 mounted in the rack and powered up. After I install Server 2012 R2 on one of the blades how to I get the two to communicate. I found a cable I can run from the M828-k to the equal with the labeling DP/N 6c7tm rev a00 and connected it to port 17 and 18. Will this work or do they need to communicate through one of the network ports? What type of software do I need to address all this storage from server 2012 or will it just show up as usable disk space in disk space for the server. Thanks in advance for any help on this issue.
