Connectivity You Can Count On
Take advantage of PCI Express (PCIe*) server
slots to enhance network performance with the
Intel
input/output (I/O) bandwidth of PCIe ensures priority
performance—without bus sharing—for Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity in Category-5 networks.
Additionally, the Intel PRO/1000 PT 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* .

network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from
Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*
Delivers increase performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization
Allows use in any PCI Express server slot
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 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 Server Adapter represents
the fifth generation of Intel
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
and the new Intel
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.
