Support for open source
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 of Intel® PRO/1000 Network
Adapters |
Reduces support costs
and simplifies installation and maintenance |
Supports 64- or 32-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 |
Intel® 82545 Gigabit
Controller |
Provides high
performance, reliability, and low power use in a single
integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller chip |
Full-height and low-profile,
screw-on brackets included with each adapter |
Compatible with
full-height and low-profile PCI standard. Full-height
bracket can be easily swapped out and replaced by the
shorter, low-profile bracket, for installation in
high-density 1U and 2U servers that feature low-profile
PCI |
Interrupt Moderation |
Delivers increased
performance while significantly reducing CPU
utilization |
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) |
Large Send Off-load/TCP
Segmentation Off-load |
Compatible with Large
Send Off-load feature of Microsoft Windows* Server 2003,
2000 and XP which enables wire speed performance with
low CPU utilization |
Expanded Advanced Server
Features |
Intel® 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 speeds on Category-5
cable networks |
Able to achieve Gigabit
speeds on commonly deployed CAT-5 cabling without costly
cable replacement |
Compatible with Fast
Ethernet |
Reduces training costs
and ramp rollout quickly |
Auto-sensing, self-configuring
10/100/1000 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 |
