PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server Adapter
Two Intel
®
82546EB 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 
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
®
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 10/100/1000-Mbps

Enables migration to faster networks easily and inexpensively—adapter will 
performance
automatically sense when the network is able to support a faster speed, and 
self-configure to save IT staff time, money and server downtime
The Intelligent Way 
to Connect
Access multiple network segments, conserve
valuable Peripheral Component Interconnect 
(PCI) slot space in servers, and migrate existing
Category-5 (CAT-5) networks to Gigabit Ethernet
easily and cost-effectively with the Intel
®
PRO/1000 MT 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
®
PRO Server
Adapters or with LAN-on-motherboard
components using the Intel advanced server
features to achieve multi-Gigabit scalability and
redundant failover capability.
