| Trusted 1000BASE-SX PCI Express Gigabit Fiber Connection for Servers |
The Intel PRO/1000 PF 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 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 Utility for Microsoft Device Manager. Intel PROSet 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.
- High-performance 1000BASE-SX network connection for PCI Express slots
- Multi-Gigabit scalability and increased uptime through advanced server features
- Built on Intel lead-free1 technology
