Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Low Profile Server AdapterOverview
Connectivity you can count on
Conserve valuable PCI Express* (PCIe*) server slots while adding multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability with the Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter. The dedicated I/O bandwidth of PCIe ensures priority performance on each port, without bus sharing, for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in Category-5 networks. The Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter improves performance in multi-processor systems by balancing network loads across multiple central processing units (CPUs). Additionally, the Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter supports Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) for faster I/O processing on the new Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers.
Features and benefits
| Two Intel® 82571GB Gigabit Controllers |
Enables four Gigabit Ethernet connections on a single adapter, delivering increased bandwidth for slot-constrained servers and providing high performance, reliability, and low power use in two single, integrated, dual port PCI Express* Gigabit Ethernet controller chips |
|---|---|
| Low-profile |
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers |
| Load balancing on multiple CPUs |
Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux* |
| Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT)◊ |
Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead |
| Virtualization |
Multi-port cards provide the platform with the port density required for virtualized environments |
| Interrupt moderation |
Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization |
| Compatible with x4, x8, and x16 full-height1 PCI Express slots |
Allows quad-port operation in almost any PCI Express server slot, except x1 slots, and allows each port to operate without interfering with the other |
| Support for most network operating systems (NOS) |
Enables widespread deployment |
| Remote management support |
Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards |
| Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), 4-pair cabling |
Uses existing 4-pair cabling and saves re-wiring costs |
| RoHS compliant2, lead-free3 technology |
Compliant with the new European Union directive (effective July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials |
| Intel® PROSet Utility for Windows* |
Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and Device Manager virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration |
| Advanced cable diagnostics |
Dynamically tests and reports network problems (error rate, cable length) and automatically compensates for cable issues (cross-over cable, wrong pin-out/polarity) |
| Intel backing |
Backed by an Intel® limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support |
