Skis do not roll, when the SR-IOV is turned on

We have:

ASUS Prime X299-A II

Intel Core i9-10940X LGA2066 X299, BX8069510940X

ESXi 7.0 Update 2

Ethernet Server Adapter I350-T2

In BIOS: vt-d Enabled

I'm switching the host to maintenance mode.
Manage\Hardware\PCI Devices

Configure SR-IOV\ Enabled, Virtual functions =8

Reboot...

After the reboot, the network adapter has 0 available functions

And in the SR - IOV Configuration section
of the adapter, I see "Enabled \ Needs reboot"

Restarting again does not help.
Manipulations without maintenance mode also have no effect.

I asked myself and I will answer myself
Info from the intel website:
VMware vSphere * 7.0, 6.7 and 6.5 does not support SR-IOV for 1 GB products.
