172 Brocade Adapters Installation and Reference Manual53-1002144-01Fabric Adapters5• Single Root I/O Virtualization (SRIOV), which provides a total of 256 functions. This includes amaximum of 16 Physical Functions (PFs) and 255 Virtual Functions (VFs) for a dual-portadapter.• Support for 2, 0000 MSI-X interrupt vectors.• Support for INT-X.PCI system valuesAll Brocade Fabric Adapters share a common PCI Vendor ID (VID) value to allow drivers and BIOS torecognize them as supported Fibre Channel and network devices. Adapters are also assigned PCIsubsystem vendor IDs (SVIDs) and subsystem IDs (SSIDs) to allow drivers and BIOS to distinguishbetween individual host adapter variants. You can locate PCI device, vendor, and subsystem IDs forthe installed Fabric Adapters through your host’s operating system tools. For example, if usingWindows, use the following steps.1. Access the Device Manager2. Open the Properties dialog box for the adapter by right-clicking the adapter and selectingProperties from the shortcut menu.3. Select the Details and Driver tabs to locate specific values.Hardware specificationsThe adapter supports features outlined in Table 19 on page 180.TABLE 13 Fabric Adapter hardware specificationsFeature DescriptionPort speeds • 10.312 Gbps for installed 10GbE SFPs• 16, 8, or 4 Gbps and auto negotiated speedsper port for installed 16 Gbps Fibre ChannelSFPs• 8, 4, 2 Gbps, and auto negotiated speeds perport for installed 8 Gbps Fibre Channel SFPsSFP transceivers (stand-upadapters)Ethernet• Multimode fiber optic small form factorpluggable plus (SFP+)• Copper SFP+Fibre Channel• Multimode fibre optic SFPConnectivity • Stand-up adapters - LC cable connectors•ASIC • Provides the Fibre Channel, FCoE, DCBfunctionality for the adapter.• Two on-board processors, each operating at400 MHz, which coordinate and process datain both directions.• Hardware acceleration for network and FCoEfunctions.• AnyIO technology for setting port operatingmodes to HBA (Fibre Channel), CNA, or NIC(Ethernet).
