5 Converged Network Adapters PCI system values All Brocade FCoE CNAs share a common PCI Vendor ID (VID) value to allow drivers and BIOS to recognize them as supported Fibre Channel and network devices. CNAs 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 FCoE CNAs through your host's operating system tools. For example, if using Windows, use the following steps. 1. Access the Device Manager The CNA appears as a Fibre Channel adapter and as an Ethernet controller or adapter. 2. Open the Properties dialog box for the CNA by right-clicking the CNA and selecting Properties from the shortcut menu. 3. Select the Details and Driver tabs to locate specific values.
