Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
Two Gigabit Copper Server Connections in a Single PCI Express Slot. Connectivity You Can Count On.
Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe) server slots while adding multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability. 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. Additionally, the Intel PRO/ 1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter is designed to provide high performance in multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across multiple Central Processing Units (CPUs) when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux.
Intel 82571GB Gigabit Controller
Enables two Gigabit connections in a single adapter, delivering increased bandwidth for slot-constrained servers and providing high performance, reliability, and low power use in a single, integrated, dual port PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller chip.
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.
Interrupt moderation
Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization.
Compatible with x4, x8, and x16 full-height PCI Express slots
Allows dual-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 compliant, lead-free technology
Compliant with the new European Union directive (effective July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials.
Intel PROSet Utility for Microsoft Device Manager
Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and 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).
