Intel® PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server AdapterOverview
Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server slots while adding multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability with the Intel® PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter. The dedicated input/output (I/O) bandwidth of PCIe ensures priority performance on each port—without bus sharing—for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in fiber optic networks. The Intel PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter improves performance in multi-processor systems by balancing network loads across multiple central processing units (CPUs). Additionally, the Intel PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter enables Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT)◊ for faster I/O processing on 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 integrated, dual port PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller chips |
|---|---|
| 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/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 |
| LC connectors | Small connector design is compatible with the latest fiber-optic cabling standards |
| 1000BASE-SX multi-mode fiber | Ensures compatibility with fiber-optic cable lengths up to 275 meters |
| Support for most network operating systems (NOS) | Enables widespread deployment |
| Remote management support | Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards |
| RoHS compliant1, lead-free2 technology | Compliant with the European Union directive (effective as of 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 |
◊ Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) requires an operating system that supports Intel I/OAT.
1Lead and other materials banned in RoHS Directive are either (1) below all applicable substance thresholds as proposed by the EU and China, or (2) an approved/pending exemption applies.
2Lead has not been intentionally added, but lead may still exist as an impurity below 1000 ppm, or an approved RoHS exemption applies.
