Connectivity You Can Count On
Take advantage of PCI Express (PCIe*) server
slots to enhance network performance with the
Intel
®
PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter. The dedicated
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*.
The Intel PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter represents
the fifth generation of Intel
®
network 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
®
PRO Network Connections
are 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.
