Introduction
Conserve
valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server slots
while adding multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability
with the Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual 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.
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.
The
Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
features 10/100/ 1000 Mbps self-configuration
for compatibility with mixed-speed network
devices, and is supported by Intel® PRO
Intelligent Install and the new Intel®
PROSet Utility for Microsoft* Device Manager.
Intel PROSet simplifies adapter installation
and gives you point-and-click power to configure
and manage all your Intel PRO Network Connections
for connectivity you can count on.

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
compliant2, lead-free1 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) |
| Intel
backing |
Backed
by an Intel® limited lifetime warranty,
90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and
Canada), and worldwide support |
