Fibre channel host connectors
Each of the two AMS 2100 control units has two Fibre Channel data ports
(total of 4 ports per array). Each of the two AMS 2300 control units has four
Fibre Channel data ports (total of 8 ports per array). Each data port is part
of a device called a host connector. A host connector is a SFP (Small Form

interface board inside the control unit to the fibre optic cables.
