• Four high-performance PCI Express* 10/100/1000 Mbps

connections for slot-constrained servers requiring high bandwidth

• Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Scalability enhances and increases uptime

through advanced server features

• Built on Intel® lead-free

technology

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 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 Server

Adapter improves performance in multi-processor systems by balanc-

ing network loads across multiple central processing units (CPUs).

Additionally, the Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter enables

Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) for faster I/O process-

ing on the new Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers.

The Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter represents

the sixth generation of Intel® network adapters for Gigabit

Ethernet, and features 10/100/1000 Mbps self-configuration for

compatibility with mixed-speed network infrastructure. The Intel®

PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter is 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.

Product Brief

Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter

Network Connectivity

Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter

Four Gigabit Ethernet Copper Server Connections in a Single PCI Express* Slot

Features Benefits

Two Intel® 82571GB Gigabit Controllers

Enables four Gigabit Ethernet connections on a single adapter, delivering increased bandwidth for slot-constrained servers

and providing high performance, reliability, and low power use in two single, integrated, dual port PCI Express Gigabit

Ethernet controller chips

Load balancing on multiple CPUs

Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used

with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*

Intel® I/OAT

Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead

Virtualization

Multi-port cards provide the platform with the port density required for virtualized environments

Interrupt moderation

Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization

Compatible with x4, x8, and x16

full-height PCI Express* slots

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

Support for most network operating

systems (NOS)

Enables widespread deployment

Remote management support

Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards

Category-5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP),

4-pair cabling

Uses existing 4-pair cabling and saves re-wiring costs

RoHS compliant

, lead-free

technology

Compliant with the EU & China Standards to reduce the use of hazardous materials

Intel® PROSet Utility for Windows*

Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and Device Manager

virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration

Advanced cable diagnostics

Dynamically tests and reports network problems (error rate, cable length) and automatically compensates for cable issues

(cross-over cable, wrong pin-out/polarity)

Intel backing

Backed by an Intel® limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support
