• Bridge is the PCI-E to PCI-X bridge type. This information is only available for certain adapters.
• Bridge Lanes is the number of PCI-E lanes connected to the bridge. This information is only available for
certain adapters.
• Bridge Speed indicates the clock speed on the PCI-E bus. This information is only available for certain
adapters.
• Slot Number is the number of slots on the system board occupied by the adapter. This item is not
available for PCI Express type adapters.
• Bus Speed indicates the bus clock signal frequency used by the adapter. This item is not available for

item is not available for PCI Express type adapters.
• Bus Number indicates the number of the bus where the adapter is installed.
• Device Number is assigned to the adapter by the operating system.
• Function Number is the port number of the adapter. For a single-port adapter, the function number is 0.
For a two-port adapter, the function number for the first port is 0, and the function number for the second
