Intel®PRO/1000 PT
Dual Port Server Adapter
Two Gigabit Copper Server Connections
in a Single PCI Express* Slot
•
Two high-performance PCI Express
10/100/1000 Mbps connections for
slot-constrained servers
•
Multi-Gigabit scalability and increased
uptime through advanced server features
•
Built on Intel®lead-free1technology
Connectivity You Can Count On
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
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.
Features Benefits
Intel®82571GB Gigabit Controller
•
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
Load balancing on multiple CPUs
•
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*
Interrupt moderation
•
Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization
Compatible with x4, x8, and x16 full-height
2
•
Allows dual-port operation in almost any PCI Express server slot, except x1 slots,
PCI Express* 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
