Product Brief Intel(R) PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server Adapter Intel(R) PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server Adapter Four Gigabit Copper Server Connections in a Single PCI/PCI-X* Slot The Intelligent Way to Connect Access multiple network segments, conserve valuable Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slots in servers, and migrate existing Category-5 (CAT-5) networks to Gigabit Ethernet easily and cost-effectively with the Intel(R) PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server Adapter. Standards-based management features help ensure compatibility with the latest server and networking environments. Enhance server performance further by teaming connections on this adapter with each other, with connections on other Intel(R) PRO Server Adapters or with LAN-on-motherboard components using the Intel(R) advanced server features to achieve multi-Gigabit scalability and redundant failover capability. Features Benefits Widespread Compatibility Support for most NOSs Enables high-density networking in server appliances and embedded applications Intel(R) SingleDriverTM technology Common driver suite for Gigabit Ethernet reduces installation complexity Backward compatibility with previous generations of Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Adapters Reduces support costs and simplifies installation and maintenance Supports 3.3 volt 64-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 New Features in the Intel(R) PRO/1000 GT Quad Port Server Adapter Two Intel(R) NH82546GB Gigabit Controllers Enables four 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 Lead-free Lead has not been intentionally added, but lead may still exist as an impurity below 1000 ppm or an approved RoHS exemption applies Interrupt moderation Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU utilization Advanced cable diagnostics Dynamically tests and reports network problems (interrupts, error rate, cable length) and automatically compensates for cable issues (cross-over cable, wrong pin-out/polarity) Expanded advanced server features Intel(R) Advanced Networking Services (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 Achieves Gigabit speeds on commonly deployed CAT-5 cabling without costly cable replacement Compatible with Fast Ethernet Reduces training costs and quickly ramps rollout Auto-sensing, self-configuring 10/100/1,000-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 Specifications General Product codes Connectors IEEE standard/network topology Wiring Advanced Software Features PWLA8494GT Four RJ-45 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T CAT-5, 4-pair for 1,000 Mbps; CAT-3, 2-pair for 100 Mbps Adapter Product Features Intel(R) SingleDriverTM technology Plug and Play specification support Auto-negotiation, full-duplex capable Cable distance Integrated MAC and PHY SMBus support PCI Hot Plug* and Active PCI* * Standard * 100 m * * * Network Management Wired for Management (WfM) baseline v2.0 enabled for servers DMI 2.0 support, WMI & SNMP-manageable Offline diagnostics Dynamic cable diagnostics Intel(R) Boot Agent ACPI power management 1.0 Wake on LAN* PXE 2.0 * * * * * * * NOS Software Support Windows* 2000 Windows* Server 2003 32- and 64-bit editions Windows* XP 32- and 64-bit editions RedHat Linux* 2.4.x or later (32- and 64-bit) FreeBSD* 4.x or later UnixWare* 7.x, OpenUNIX* 8.0 (ddi8) SunSoft Solaris* 7, 8 NetWare* 5.1, 6.0, 6.5 SCO* 5 * * * * * * * * * Intel Backing Limited lifetime warranty 90-day money-back guarantee (U.S. and Canada) * * Intel(R) PROSet for Windows* Device Manager Intel(R) PRO Intelligent Install Adapter Fault Tolerance Switch Fault Tolerance Adaptive Load Balancing Fast EtherChannel*1 Gigabit EtherChannel*1 IEEE 802.3ad* (link aggregation control protocol)1 Test switch configuration 802.1Q VLANs 802.3x flow control TCP checksum offload (TCP, UDP, IP) IEEE 802.1p* TCP segmentation/large send offload Interrupt moderation Save and Restore * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Technical Features Data rate(s) supported per port Bus type Bus width Bus speed Onboard memory Interrupt levels IEEE support Hardware certifications Data transfer mode Controller--processor Typical power consumption Operating temperature Operating humidity 10, 100 and 1,000 Mbps PCI/PCI-X* 32/64-bit 66/100/133 MHz 256 KB INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD 802.3ab FCC class B, CE, GOST, AS/NZ 3548, BSMI, ICES-003, VCCI Bus-master DMA Intel(R) NH82546GB 16.8 W at +3.3 VDC 0-55 C 85% at +55 C Physical Dimensions Length Width 1 16.5 cm (6.6 in) 10.7 cm (4.2 in) Available only when used with a capable switch.
