Features and Benefits |
|
Widespread Compatibility |
| |
Support for most NOSs |
|
Enables high-density networking in server appliances and embedded applications |
| Intel® SingleDriver™ technology |
|
Common driver suite for Gigabit Ethernet reduces installation complexity |
| Backward compatibility with previous generations |
|
Reduces support costs and simplifies installation and maintenance of Intel® PRO/1000 Network Adapters |
| Supports 3.3 volt 64-bit PCI-X* 1.0 or PCI 2.2 buses |
|
This flexible, auto-sensing adapter works in a variety of bus types |
| Remote management support (WfM, RIS, SNMP/DMI) |
|
Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards |
| IEEE 802.3ab* compatibility |
|
Supports Gigabit Ethernet industry-wide networking standard |
| New Features in the Intel® PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server Adapter |
| |
Two Intel® NH82546GB Gigabit Controllers |
|
Enables four 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 Gigabit Ethernet controller chip |
| Lead-free |
|
Lead has not been intentionally added, but lead may still exist as an impurity below 1000 ppm or an approved RoHS exemption applies |
| Interrupt moderation |
|
Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization |
| Advanced cable diagnostics |
|
Dynamically tests and reports network problems (interrupts, error rate, cable length) and automatically compensates for cable issues (cross-over cable, wrong pin-out/polarity) |
| Expanded advanced server features |
|
Intel® Advanced Networking Services (ANS) software increases uptime with redundant, teamed connections and scales bandwidth by balancing network traffic across multiple server connections. Now offers Switch Fault Tolerance and Test Switch Configuration to test compatibility and further increase uptime |
| Gigabit-over-Copper Advantages |
| |
Gigabit speeds on Category-5 cable networks |
|
Achieves Gigabit speeds on commonly deployed CAT-5 cabling without costly cable replacement |
| Compatible with Fast Ethernet |
|
Reduces training costs and quickly ramps rollout |
| Auto-sensing, self-configuring 10/100/1,000-Mbps performance |
|
Enables migration to faster networks easily and inexpensively—adapter will automatically sense when the network is able to support a faster speed, and self-configure to save IT staff time, money, and server downtime |
