Connectivity You Can Count On
Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server
slots while adding multi-port fiber-optic connectivity
to enhance network performance with the
Intel
®
PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adapter.
The dedicated input/output (I/O) bandwidth
of PCIe ensures priority performance—without
bus sharing—for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
in fiber-optic networks. Additionally, the Intel
PRO/1000 PF 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 PF Dual Port Server Adapter
represents the fifth generation of Intel network
adapters for Gigabit Ethernet, and features the
high noise immunity and long-distance reach of
fiber-optic connectivity. For easy installation and
management, all Intel
®
PRO Network Connections
are supported by Intel
®
PRO Intelligent Install and
the new Intel
®
PROSet for Microsoft* Device
Manager. Intel PROSet Utility 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
