Product Brief Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter Network Connectivity Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter Quad Port Fiber Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter for PCI* Express Slots * Four high-performance PCI Express* 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(R) lead-free1 technology Connectivity You Can Count On Conserve valuable PCI Express (PCIe*) server slots while adding multi-port Gigabit Ethernet capability with the Intel(R) PRO/1000 PF 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 fiber optic networks. The Intel PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter improves performance in multi-processor systems by balancing network loads across multiple central processing units (CPUs). Additionally, the Intel PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter enables Intel(R) I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel(R) I/OAT)2 for faster I/O processing on the new Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor-based servers. Features Benefits Two Intel(R) 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 two low-power 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(R) I/OAT2 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 LC connectors Small connector design is compatible with the latest fiber-optic cabling standards 1000BASE-SX multi-mode fiber Ensures compatibility with fiber-optic cable lengths up to 275 meters Support for most network operating systems (NOS) Enables widespread deployment Remote management support Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards 3 1 RoHS compliant , lead-free technology Compliant with the European Union directive (effective as of July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials Intel(R) 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(R) limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support The Intel PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter represents the sixth generation of Intel(R) network adapters for Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optic cabling. For easy installation and management, all Intel(R) PRO Network Connections are supported by Intel(R) PRO Intelligent Install and the new Intel(R) 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.
