Intel AMT stores software are compact single-port integrated 10/100/1000 and virus-protection version information that is Mbps copper network-connection components consistent and up-to-date across the enterprise, for desktop, workstation, and value-server designs helping protect systems against malicious software with critical space constraints. The 82573E supports attacks. The 82573E is recommended for use Intel AMT, which allows IT to remotely discover, on the Intel® Professional Business Platform heal, and protect their computing assets. The based on the Intel® 945 Express Chipset family, 82573V supports ASF 2.0 and Advanced Pass which supports Intel AMT. Through modes for legacy manageability applications. The 82573L offers lower power consumption for non-managed platforms. • Intel Active Management Technology: The Intel 82573E controller is a key platform ingredient for enabling Intel AMT by providing always-available network connectivity and an integrated management engine. Intel AMT allows IT to discover, heal, and protect all the computing assets on their corporate network. With Intel AMT, IT managers can discover all their hardware and software computing assets. Because asset information is stored in non-volatile memory, IT can read it even if the PC is off or the operating system (OS) is inoperable. IT managers can heal • Small-footprint Gigabit Ethernet implementation with integrated PCI Express (PCIe*) support: All three controllers allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to implement Gigabit Ethernet on their platforms in a compact board area with reduced BOM. Each has fully integrated Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical-Layer (PHY) functions, and each provides a standard IEEE 802.3* Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T applications. The controller’s host bus utilizes the PCIe architecture (Revision 1.0a) designed for high-performance and low-memory latency. The Intel 82573E/V/L controllers offer reduced system BOM opportunities by • • Simplified installation and maintenance with Intel® providing integrated voltage regulators and the ability to SingleDriver™ technology: These controllers are supported share the system BIOS Flash instead of requiring a separate by Intel SingleDriver technology, which allows one driver to EEPROM for local area network (LAN) configuration data. work for all Intel® PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Performance-enhancing features: Each of the Intel Intel SingleDriver technology simplifies network connection installation, management, and maintenance. 82573E/V/L controllers includes advanced interrupthandling features and uses efficient ring-buffer descriptor • Available with lead-free1 technology: These Intel® controllers data structures with on-chip caching for up to 64 packet are packaged in a lead-free, 15x15 mm, 196-ball grid array for descriptors per queue. Other performance-enhancing space-saving installation. Built on Intel lead-free technology, features include offloading tasks from the host via Transmission these controllers conform to the European Union’s Restrictions Control Protocol/User Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol on the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)2 and Japan’s (TCP/UDP/IP) checksum calculations and TCP segmentation.
