PCIe Multi-Function or Multi-Device is a PCIe specification feature that allows a PCIe endpoint to expose multiple virtualized PCIe endpoints to the host system using the same PCIe connection.The PERC H975i Front controller has 4 PCIe endpoints that are exposed to the system using PCIe Multi-Function. IDRAC hardware inventory, the host OS, and management utilities will display four devices for one physical controller. Three of the endpoints will indicate as "Virtual" or "Fusion-MPT 24G SAS/PCIe SAS50xx/SAS51xx".
