INTEL PWLA8492MFBLK5

Intel® PRO/1000 MF
Dual Port Server Adapter
Two Gigabit Fiber Server Connections in a Single PCI Slot
The Intelligent Way to Connect
Conserve valuable PCI slot space in servers, alleviate bottlenecks, and increase uptime with Gigabit performance for
servers in multi-mode fiber-optic networks. The Intel®
PRO/1000 MF Dual Port Server Adapter, with a selfconfiguring PCI/PCI-X interface, delivers high throughput
while conserving CPU resources.
Enhance server performance further by teaming these two
connections together or 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, rackmounted 1U and 2U servers. With a flexible design that fits almost any type of PCI bus, the standardsbased management features and wide network operating system support help to ensure extensive
compatibility with the latest server and networking environments.

Multi-Gigabit scalability
and increased uptime
through advanced
server features
Optional low-profile
bracket included for
high-density, rackmounted servers
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
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
