5 Fabric Adapters • Single Root I/O Virtualization (SRIOV), which provides a total of 256 functions. This includes a maximum of 16 Physical Functions (PFs) and 255 Virtual Functions (VFs) for a dual-port adapter. • Support for 2, 0000 MSI-X interrupt vectors. • Support for INT-X. PCI system values All Brocade Fabric Adapters share a common PCI Vendor ID (VID) value to allow drivers and BIOS to recognize them as supported Fibre Channel and network devices. Adapters are also assigned PCI subsystem vendor IDs (SVIDs) and subsystem IDs (SSIDs) to allow drivers and BIOS to distinguish between individual host adapter variants. You can locate PCI device, vendor, and subsystem IDs for the installed Fabric Adapters through your host's operating system tools. For example, if using Windows, use the following steps. 1. Access the Device Manager 2. Open the Properties dialog box for the adapter by right-clicking the adapter and selecting Properties from the shortcut menu. 3. Select the Details and Driver tabs to locate specific values. Hardware specifications The adapter supports features outlined in Table 19 on page 180.

PCI system values
All Brocade Fabric Adapters share a common PCI Vendor ID (VID) value to allow drivers and BIOS to
recognize them as supported Fibre Channel and network devices. Adapters are also assigned PCI
subsystem vendor IDs (SVIDs) and subsystem IDs (SSIDs) to allow drivers and BIOS to distinguish
between individual host adapter variants. You can locate PCI device, vendor, and subsystem IDs for
the installed Fabric Adapters through your host’s operating system tools. For example, if using
Windows, use the following steps.
1.
Access the Device Manager
2.
Open the
Properties
dialog box for the adapter by right-clicking the adapter and selecting
Properties
from the shortcut menu.
3.
Select the
Details
