+#. Change to DPDK source directory where the target has been compiled in
+ section :ref:`driver-compilation`:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cd <DPDK-source-directory>
+
+#. Copy the contigmem kernel module to /boot/kernel directory:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cp x86_64-native-bsdapp-clang/kmod/contigmem.ko /boot/kernel/
+
+#. Add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ # reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver
+ hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
+ hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
+ # load contigmem module during boot process
+ contigmem_load="YES"
+
+ The above lines load the contigmem kernel module during boot process and
+ allocate 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory to be used for DPDK later on.
+ This is to avoid issues with potential memory fragmentation during later
+ system up time, which may result in failure of allocating the contiguous
+ memory required for the contigmem kernel module.
+
+#. Restart the system and ensure the contigmem module is loaded successfully:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ reboot
+ kldstat | grep "contigmem"
+
+ Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ 2 1 0xffffffff817f1000 3118 contigmem.ko
+
+#. Repeat step 1 to ensure that you are in the DPDK source directory.
+
+#. Load the cxgbe kernel module:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ kldload if_cxgbe
+
+#. Get the PCI bus addresses of the interfaces bound to t5nex driver:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ pciconf -l | grep "t5nex"
+
+ Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ t5nex0@pci0:2:0:4: class=0x020000 card=0x00001425 chip=0x54011425 rev=0x00
+
+ In the above example, the t5nex0 is bound to 2:0:4 bus address.
