4.3.2 Connection Specifications
4.3.2.1 When the FC Interface Board is Not Added
The host connector that can be used varies, depending on the topology setting of the
AMS200 and the destination of the Fibre Channel cable connection. The following table
shows available host connector of each topology setting and connection method.

Note: TagmaStore USP is an abbreviation for TagmaStore Universal Storage Platform, and it
is a higher-level model in the TagmaStore series.
When connecting the AMS200 directly to the host, the Loop topology is set to the port:
 Connect the AMS200 to the host connector 0, when the transfer rate of AMS200 is Auto.
(Do not connect anything to the host connector 1.)
 Both host connectors 0 and 1 are available, when the transfer rate of AMS200 is 1 Gbps
or 2 Gbps.
 The port that the Point-to-Point topology has been set to cannot be connected directly
to the host, TagmaStore USP or 9900V.
When connecting the AMS200 to the Switch, the Point-to-Point topology is set to the port:
 Connect the AMS200 to the host connector 0. (Do not connect it to the host connector
1.)
 The port that the Loop topology has been set to cannot be connected to the Switch.
When connecting the AMS200 directly to the TagmaStore USP or 9900V, the Loop topology is
set to the port:
 Connect it to the host connector 0. (Do not connect anything to the host connector 1.)
 The port that the Point-to-Point topology has been set to cannot be connected directly
to TagmaStore USP or 9900V.
