Installation
Caution Emulex LightPulse Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) contain
electronic components that can be damaged by static
electricity through an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event. To
prevent ESD damage, maintain frequent 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.
