The following table summarizes POST conditions and results.
NOTE:
For the link rate conditions, a 1s pause occurs when the yellow LED is off between each group of fast blinks (2, 3,
4, or 5, depending on the HBA). Observe the LED sequence for several seconds to be sure you have correctly
identified the pattern.

2.5 Changing the Speed of the HBA

You can change the speed of the link on the following HBAs by replacing the optical transceivers:
The transmission speed of the LPe35000-series and LPe36000-series adapters can be changed from 32GFC to
64GFC or from 64GFC to 32GFC.
The transmission speed of the LPe31000-series and LPe32000-series HBAs can be changed from 16GFC to 32GFC or
from 32GFC to 16GFC.

2.6 Setting the Secure Firmware Jumper

LPe31000-series HBAs and LPe32000-series HBAs have a jumper that enables or disables the Secure Firmware feature
as required.
To update the firmware using a tool, such as the Emulex HBA Manager application (formerly the OneCommand™ Manager
application), boot utilities, or Elxflash utilities, there is no need to remove the jumper. The Secure Firmware feature can
remain enabled as long as the update is from one secure firmware version to another secure firmware version. To change
the firmware version from a secure firmware version to an unsecured firmware version, you must first remove the jumper
before updating the firmware.
Replace the jumper after the firmware update is complete.
The next two figures provide examples of common locations of the Secure Firmware jumper.
