Intel

PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server Adapter

Four Gigabit Copper Server Connections in a Single PCI/PCI-X* Slot

The Intelligent Way to Connect

Access multiple network segments, conserve valuable Peripheral

Component Interconnect (PCI) slots in servers, and migrate existing

Category-5 (CAT-5) networks to Gigabit Ethernet easily and

cost-effectively with the Intel® PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server

Adapter. Standards-based management features help ensure

compatibility with the latest server and networking environments.

Enhance server performance further by teaming connections on

this adapter with each other, with connections on other Intel® PRO

Server Adapters or with LAN-on-motherboard components using

the Intel® advanced server features to achieve multi-Gigabit

scalability and redundant failover capability.

Product Brief

Intel® PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server Adapter

Features 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
