Intel® PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server AdapterOverview

Two Gigabit fiber server connections in a single PCI Express* slot
The Intel® PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adapter provides the dedicated input/output (I/O) bandwidth of PCIe without bus sharing for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in fiber-optic networks. The Intel PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adapter is designed to provide high performance in multi-processor systems by efficiently balancing network loads across multiple Central Processing Units (CPUs) when used with receive-side scaling from Microsoft or Scalable I/O on Linux*.
For easy installation and management, all Intel® PRO Network Connections are supported by Intel® PRO Intelligent Install and the new Intel® PROSet for Microsoft* Device Manager. Intel PROSet Utility simplifies adapter installation and gives you point-and-click power to configure and manage all your Intel PRO Network Connections for connectivity you can count on.
Two high-performance PCI Express* 1000BASE-SX connections for slot-constrained servers
Multi-Gigabit scalability and increased uptime through advanced server features
Built on Intel® lead-free1 technology
