Connectivity You Can Count On
Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server slots
while adding multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability
with the Intel
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* .

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
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*
Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization
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
Enables widespread deployment
Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards
Uses existing 4-pair cabling and saves re-wiring costs
Compliant with the new European Union directive (effective July 2006) to reduce
the use of hazardous materials
Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features,
connection teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration
Dynamically tests and reports network problems (error rate, cable length) and
automatically compensates for cable issues (cross-over cable, wrong pin-out/polarity)
Backed by an Intel
(U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support
The Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
represents the fifth generation of Intel
adapters for Gigabit Ethernet, and features 10/100/
1000 Mbps self-configuration for compatibility with
mixed-speed network devices. For easy installation
and management, all Intel
are supported by Intel
the new Intel
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.
