| 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 3.3 volt 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 |
| Two Intel® 82546EB 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 |
| 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® 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 |
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 10/100/1000 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 |
