Intel® 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 lowprofile 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. Features Benefits WIDESPREAD COMPATIBILITY Support for most NOSs ® ■ ■ ■ Easy, cost-effective 10/100/1000 migration over existing CAT-5 cabling Multi-Gigabit scalability and increased uptime through advanced server features Optional low-profile bracket included for high-density, rackmounted servers Enables widespread deployment 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 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 included with each adapter Compatible with full-height and low-profile PCI slots—the 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 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-OVER-COPPER ADVANTAGES 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 Intel® PRO/1000 MT Dual Port Server Adapter SPECIFICATIONS GENERAL Product Codes Connectors IEEE Standard/Network Topology PWLA8492MT Two RJ-45 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T Cat-5, 4-pair Wiring ADAPTER PRODUCT FEATURES Intel® SingleDriver™ technology Plug and Play Specification Support Easy Installation, Intel® PROSet Utility and Intel® PRO Intelligent Install Auto-negotiation, Full-duplex Capable Includes a Low-profile and a Full-height Bracket Cable Distance 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® Boot Agent ACPI Power Management Wake on LAN* PXE 2.0 NOS SOFTWARE SUPPORT Microsoft Windows* Server 2003 and 2000 Microsoft Windows* XP 32- and 64-bit Editions Microsoft Windows NT* 4.0 Linux* 2.4.x or later (32- and 64-bit) FreeBSD 4.x or later Novell Netware* 4.11, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0 SunSoft Solaris* 7, 8 UnixWare* 7.x, OpenUNIX 8 (ddi8) SCO5* INTEL BACKING Limited Lifetime Warranty 90-day Money-back Guarantee (U.S. and Canada) ■ Standard ■ ■ ■ 100m ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ADVANCED SOFTWARE FEATURES 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 PCI Hot Plug* and Active PCI* 802.1Q VLANs 802.3x Flow Control TCP Checksum Offload IEEE 802.1p TCP Segmentation/Large Send Off-load Interrupt Moderation Save and Restore ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ TECHNICAL FEATURES Data Rate(s) Supported per Port Bus Type Bus Width Bus Speed (MHz) 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- or 64-bit 33/66/100/133 128 KB INTA 802.3ab FCC A, CE Bus-master DMA Intel® 82546 1A at +5VDC 0–55°C 85% at +55°C PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS Length Width Height of Full-Height End Bracket Height of Low-Profile End Bracket 16.5cm (6.6 in) 6.4cm (2.5 in) 12.1cm (4.75 in) 8.1cm (3.2 in) ■ ■ ORDER CODES NETWORK-READY PCS FOR PRODUCT INFORMATION PWLA8492MT (Single Packs) PWLA8492MTBLK5 (Five Packs) Top PC and server manufacturers offer Intel® adapters in their new products.
