Connectivity You Can Count On

Take advantage of PCI Express (PCIe*) server

slots to enhance network performance with the

input/output (I/O) bandwidth of PCIe ensures priority

performance—without bus sharing—for Gigabit

Ethernet connectivity in Category-5 networks.

Additionally, the Intel PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter

is designed to provide high performance in multi-

processor systems by efficiently balancing network

loads across multiple Central Processing Units

(CPUs) when used with Receive-Side Scaling from

Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*.

The Intel PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter represents

Gigabit Ethernet, and features 10/100/1000 Mbps

self-configuration for compatibility with mixed-

speed network devices. For easy installation and

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.
