How to Use This Guide
The Intel
effective Storage Area Networks (SANs) using standard LAN/ Ethernet
infrastructure. It uses the new, open iSCSI standard to transmit SCSI
storage data over Ethernet networks, dramatically lowering the total cost of
ownership for storage networks while still offering increased reliability,
availability, scalability, and manageability of stored data.
The Intel PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter contains field upgradeable
firmware designed to support both past and future versions of the iSCSI
specification. To locate the most appropriate firmware for your solution,
visit the Intel website. See the Upgrading the Firmware section of the
online Intel
for information on upgrading your firmware.
This guide provides information on how to install the Intel
Storage Adapter, how to install Windows* and Linux drivers, and basic
adapter configuration information to get you started. For complete details
about using the adapter, refer to the online Intel

• Category 5, twisted pair cabling must be used when running at 100/
1000 Mbps (for best results at 1000 Mbps, use CAT 5e cabling).
• An 802.3ab-compliant gigabit Ethernet switch is recommended for
acheiving the maximum 1000 Mbps speed.

Inserting the Adapter
You can insert a maximum of three adapters into your system to connect to
multiple targets and increase throughput performance. To insert the Intel
PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter into your computer, follow these steps:
1. If your computer is not a Hot Plug system, turn it off and unplug it
before you remove the cover. If your computer is a Hot Plug system,
see your server's documentation for information about removing the
cover.
CAUTION: Failing to power down the system and remove the
power cord BEFORE removing the cover could
physically endanger you or damage the adapter or
computer.
2. Remove the cover bracket from a 32- or 64-bit PCI or PCI-X bus
master slot.
3. In a 32-bit PCI or PCI-X slot, the end of the edge connector will be
