Product Brief Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter Network Connectivity Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter Low-Profile Quad Port Copper Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter for PCI* Express Slots Four high-performance PCI Express* 10/100/1000 Mbps connections for slot-constrained servers requiring high bandwidth Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Scalability enhances and increases uptime through advanced server features 1 Built on Intel lead-free technology Connectivity You Can Count On Server Adapter improves performance in multi-processor systems Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server slots while adding by balancing network loads across multiple central processing units multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability with the Intel PRO/1000 (CPUs). Additionally, the Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter. The dedicated input/output (I/O) 2 Adapter supports Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT) bandwidth of PCIe ensures priority performance on each port for faster I/O processing on the new Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel without bus sharing for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in Xeon processor-based servers. Category-5 networks. The Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Features 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* 2 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 standard Allows quad-port operation in almost any PCI Express server slot, except x1 slots, and allows each port to operate without and low-profile PCI Express* slots interfering with the other Support for most network operating Enables widespread deployment systems (NOS) Remote management support Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP), Uses existing 4-pair cabling and saves re-wiring costs 4-pair cabling 3 1 RoHS compliant , lead-free 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 supportThe Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapters low-profile for compatibility with mixed-speed network infrastructure. design, the industrys first server adapter to incorporate four For easy installation and management, all Intel PRO Network Gigabit Ethernet connections in a low-profile PCI Express slot, Connections are supported by Intel PRO Intelligent Install and improves server throughput and rack density at the same time. the new Intel PROSet Utility for Windows* Device Manager.
