    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to the existence of a unique value associated with each PCIe function or device that is readable from two or more PCIe functions, or from a CPU running system software. Embodiments enable system software to identify which PCIe functions have private or hidden connections. In addition, embodiments may allow system software to differentiate among multiple identical instances of PCIe add-in components that have associations. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
