When using the External Connector Module (SS004MAA) to probe between devices that
utilize single lane SATA connectors, the special octopus cable must be used. The SATA
side of the octopus cables would be attached to the devices under test.
Note: The initiator side must be a "cross-over" cable.
Note: When using new External Connector Module (SS004MAA) with
standard 4X External InfiniBand style cables, there is no need to use
"cross-over" cable. Both cables above are straight.
