Dual Port Server Adapter

Two Gigabit Fiber Server Connections in a Single PCI Slot

The Intelligent Way to Connect

Conserve valuable PCI slot space in servers, alleviate bottle-

necks, and increase uptime with Gigabit performance for

PRO/1000 MF Dual Port Server Adapter, with a self-

configuring PCI/PCI-X interface, delivers high throughput

while conserving CPU resources.

Enhance server performance further by teaming these two

advanced server feature software to achieve multi-Gigabit scalability and

redundant failover capability. A compact form factor and swappable low-profile

bracket allow this dual port Gigabit adapter to fit in even high-density, rack-

mounted 1U and 2U servers. With a flexible design that fits almost any type of PCI bus, the standards-

based management features and wide network operating system support help to ensure extensive

compatibility with the latest server and networking environments.

NEW FEATURES IN THE INTEL PRO/1000 MF DUAL PORT SERVER ADAPTER

Enables two Gigabit connections in a single adapter, delivering

increased bandwidth for slot-constrained servers and providing

high performance, reliability, and low power use in a single,

integrated, dual port Gigabit Ethernet controller chip

Full-height and low-profile, screw-on brackets

Compatible with full-height and low-profile PCI slots—the

included with each adapter

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

Interrupt Moderation
