a. Open the Windows Start menu, and open the Device Manager, Network
Adapters option.

Figure 5 Network Adapters - Windows 2016
b. In the list of Network adapters, double-click on each one, and take note of
the location shown in the Location field. For example, output such as PCI
Slot 2 (PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0) means that this
network adapter is on PCI 4:0, because 4 is the bus number, and 0 is the
function number.
