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^® 82545 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 included with each adapter
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 (crossover 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.
