Factory Default — restores the adapter to its factory default settings. A system
reboot is required for the changes to take an effect.

Port tab — lists all of the ports available on the adapter. Each row in the list
view corresponds to a single PCI function and contains all PCI function
parameters. The PF column contains the PCI function number of the device. The
Name column provides a friendly device name if one is available. Otherwise,
the name is a generic operating system device class name.
Note: If you cancel the configuration change and return the device to its factory
default state, a reboot is still required.
