| Support
for most NOSs | Enables
widespread deployment |
| 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®
82546 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 available | 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 |
