Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Industry-leading, energy-efficient design for next-generation 10 Gigabit performance and multi-core processors
Low-profile
Enables higher bandwidth and throughput from standard and low-profile PCIe slots and servers
Load balancing on multiple CPUs
Increases performance on multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across
CPU cores when used with Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*
iSCSI remote boot support
Provides centralized storage area network (SAN) management at a lower cost than other iSCSI solutions
Support for most network operating systems (NOS)
Enables widespread deployment
RoHS-compliant2
Complies with the European Union directive 2002/95/EC to reduce the use of hazardous materials
Intel® PROSet utility for Microsoft Windows* Device Manager
Provides point-and-click management of individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection
teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration
Time Sync (IEEE 1588, 802.1as)
Lets networked Ethernet e synchronize internal clocks according to a network master clock;
endpoint can then acquire an accurate estimate of the master time by compensating for link latency
