+        fabric card, and the function returns all fabric ASICs on this module that
+        appear in PCI domain of the Supervisor.
+
+        Returns:
+            A list of ASICs. Index of an ASIC in the list is the index of the ASIC
+            on the module. Index is 0 based.
+
+            An item in the list is a tuple that includes:
+               - ASIC instance number (indexed globally across all modules of
+                 the chassis). This number is used to find settings for the ASIC
+                 from /usr/share/sonic/device/platform/hwsku/asic_instance_number/.
+               - ASIC PCI address: It is used by syncd to attach the correct ASIC.
+
+            For example: [('4', '0000:05:00.0'), ('5', '0000:07:00.0')]
+               In this example, from the output, we know the module has 2 ASICs.
+               Item ('4', '0000:05:00.0') describes information about the first ASIC
+               in the module.
+               '4' means it is asic4 in the chassis. Settings for this ASIC is at
+               /usr/share/sonic/device/platform/hwsku/4/.
+               And '0000:05:00.0' is its PCI address.
