Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe) server slots while adding multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability with the Intel® PRO/1000 PT 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 Category-5 networks. The Intel PRO/1000 PT 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 PT Quad Port Server Adapter enables Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) for faster I/O processing on the new Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers.

The Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter is supported by Intel® PRO Intelligent Installer and the new Intel® PROSet Utility for Windows Device Manager. Intel PROSet simplifies adapter installation and gives you point-and-click power to configure and manage your Intel® PRO Network Connections for connectivity you can count on.

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

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
