Connectivity You Can Count On
For PCs with PCI Express (PCIe*) slots, the Intel
PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter offers the newest
technology for maximizing system performance
and increasing end-user productivity. Specifically,
the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter uses
auto-negotiation to allow the adapter to run at
the highest available network speed (10, 100 or
1000 Mbps), and it maintains full bandwidth
capacity with the dedicated 2.5-Gbps bandwidth
of a PCI Express input/output (I/O) bus to provide
connectivity you can count on.

Enhancing Desktop Performance Enhances
Network Performance: Fast servers and server
connections are important for high network
performance. However, server speed cannot
overcome the drag of slow desktop performance.
This is because when a desktop PC initiates a
transaction with the network server, the server
quickly performs its portion of the transaction,
but must wait for the desktop PC to complete
its part of the transaction. The slower the PC,
the longer the server must wait for transaction
completion before moving to the next transaction.
Benefits
Enhances high performance and reliability
•
• Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization
Designed for high performance on the new PCI Express desktop bus architecture
•
while maintaining compatibility with PCI applications
• Reduces deployment and training costs and enables easy, quick migration
to Gigabit Ethernet
• Automatically compatible with Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Enables widespread deployment
• Uses pre-existing 4-pair cabling and saves re-wiring cost
• Compliant with the new European Union directive (effective July 2006) to reduce
the use of hazardous materials
• Allows lower power consumption, remote wake and remote booting
Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards
•
• Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features,
connection teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration
• Dynamically tests and reports network problems (error rate, cable length) and
automatically compensates for cable issues (cross-over cable, wrong pin-out/polarity)
Backed by an Intel ® limited lifetime warranty, 90-day, money-back guarantee
•
