PRO/1000 MT 
Dual Port Server Adapter
Two Gigabit Copper Server Connections in a Single PCI Slot
The Intelligent Way to Connect
Conserve valuable PCI slot space in servers, eliminate server 
bottlenecks and migrate existing Category-5 networks to 
Gigabit Ethernet easily and cost-effectively with the Intel
®
PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter. Featuring 
flexible, auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps performance, 
the Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter is 
designed to automatically scale with growing networks. 
Enhance server performance further by teaming the two connections 
together or team with other Intel
®
PRO Server Adapters using Intel’s 
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 MT DUAL PORT SERVER ADAPTER
Intel
®
82546 Gigabit Controller
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
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)
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
