NEW FEATURES IN THE INTEL PRO/1000 MT SERVER ADAPTER
Intel
®
82545 Gigabit Controller
Provides high performance, reliability, and low power use in
a single integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller chip
Compatible with full-height and low-profile PCI slots—the
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 slots
Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing
CPU utilization
Dynamically tests and reports network problems (error rate,
cable length) and automatically compensates for cable issues
(cross over cable, wrong pin-out/polarity)
Compatible with Large Send Off-load feature of Microsoft
Windows* Server 2003, 2000 and XP which enables wire speed
performance with low CPU utilization
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-OVER-COPPER ADVANTAGES
Gigabit speeds on Category-5 cable networks
Able to achieve Gigabit speeds on commonly deployed CAT-5
cabling without costly cable replacement
Reduces training costs and ramp rollout quickly
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
