Is IBM x3690 has SR-IOV capability? If so - how to configure the BIOS to support it?

I used Google to search for an answer and reached this link: ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/eserver/benchmarks/wp_SR-IOV_Red_Hat_111810.pdf

As I understand it supports SR-IOV but I couldn't find in in BIOS Settings.

Thanks

Support for SR-IOV is dependent on three things; systemboard chipset support, PCIe adapter support and OS support. IBM's eX5 chipset supports the protocol so if you pick an adapter and OS that support it too then you're good.
