Setting the Jumpers

Caution: Emulex LightPulse® HBAs contain electronic components that can be damaged by static electricity through an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event. To prevent ESD damage, maintain constant contact with any grounded metal surface. A grounding wrist strap is useful for this purpose. Handle the card carefully at all times and preferably by the edges. Avoid touching electronic components and keep the card in the original packaging until you are ready for installation.

The device ID jumpers are used in custom applications. Do not change the jumper settings for a standard Emulex installation.
