Cables to Use
When using Sierra as a Host Emulator, connect from Target to hard drives using an iPass

When using Sierra as a Device Emulator, connect from Initiator to HBAs using an iPass to
SATA octopus Straight cable.
When connecting between a HBA and a disk drive, use a crossover MiniSAS (iPASS) from
the initiator port on the Sierra to MiniSAS or SAS4X cable depending on the HBA
connector, and a MiniSAS from the target port to SATAx4, connecting the SATA connector
to the disk drive.
