1.5 Adapter Identification

Each adapter ships with several numbers clearly marked on the circuit board. Record the following numbers before
installation.
Serial number – Assigned by Emulex. Use this number when communicating with Broadcom Technical Support.

IEEE address – An IEEE unique 64-bit identifier used for system configuration.

WWN – Derived from the IEEE address; the FC industry uses the WWN for FC connectivity.

NOTE: IEEE addresses and WWNs are assigned in sequential order. For example, if an adapter has four ports, it has four
IEEE addresses and four WWNs; one for each port. The second, third, and fourth IEEE addresses and WWNs are
the next successive number after the first.
