External Storage XP user guide 131
NOTE: When connecting to a TagmaStore AMS or TagmaStore WMS subsystem, use LUN Manager to
set the data transfer speed of the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200 external port you use to a fixed value
other than Auto Negotiation. Also, set the data transfer speed of the target port of the TagmaStore AMS or
TagmaStore WMS subsystem to the same fixed value according to the data transfer speed of the external
port.
NOTE: You can either specify or omit any other parameters.
