Enables four Gigabit Ethernet connections on a single adapter, delivering increased bandwidth for slot-constrained servers and providing high performance, reliability, and low power use in two single, integrated, dual port PCI Express* Gigabit Ethernet controller chips

Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers

Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*

Accelerates I/O with higher throughput and lower CPU utilization by offloading processing overhead

Multi-port cards provide the platform with the port density required for virtualized environments

Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization

Allows quad-port operation in almost any PCI Express server slot, except x1 slots, and allows each port to operate without interfering with the other

Enables widespread deployment

Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards

Uses existing 4-pair cabling and saves re-wiring costs

Compliant with the new European Union directive (effective July 2006) to reduce the use of hazardous materials

Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and Device Manager 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 (U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support
