Introduction
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 Dual-Core
Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers.
The
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter
is supported by Intel® PRO Intelligent
Install 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.
