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 Quad Port LP 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 LP

, lead-free1 technology
Enables four Gigabit Ethernet connections on a single adapter, delivering increased bandwidth for slot-constrained servers
and providing hi gh performan ce, reliability, and low-power use in t wo single, integrated, dual port P CI Express Gigabit
Ethernet controller chips
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers
Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used
with Receive-Side Scaling f rom Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*
Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead
Multi-port cards provide the plat form with the port density required for virtualized environments
Deliver s increased per formance while significantly reducing CPU utilization
Allows quad-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 cost s with remote management based on industry-wide standards
Uses existing 4 -pair cabling and saves re-wiring cost s
Compliant with the Europ ean Union direc tive (effective as of July 200 6) to reduce the use of hazardous materials
Provid es point-and-c lick power over ind ividual adapters, ad vanced adapter features, c onnection te aming, and Dev ice Manager
virtual loca l area network ( VLAN) conf iguration
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® limited lifetime warranty, 90 -day money-back guar antee (U.S. and C anada), and wor ldwide support
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 LP Server
Adapter supports Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT)
2
for faster I/O processing on the new Quad-Core and Dual-Core Intel®
Xeon® processor-based servers.
The Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter’s low-profile
design, the industry’s first server adapter to incorporate four
Gigabit Ethernet connections in a low-profile PCI Express slot,
improves server throughput and rack density at the same time.
The Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter represents
the sixth generation of Intel® network adapters for Gigabit
Ethernet, and features 10/100/1000 Mbps self-configuration
Specifications
for compatibility with mixed-speed network infrastructure.
For easy installation and management, all Intel® PRO Network
Connections are 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 all your Intel PRO Network
Connections for connectivity you can count on.
