Intel PWLA8490T PRO/1000 T Server Adapter

The Intel PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter provides a high-bandwidth server solution for upgrading Ethernet and Fast Ethernet infrastructures. Its highly integrated Intel-designed LAN controller and 32- or 64-bit PCI interface provides leading-edge performance through an array of advanced features, such as IP checksum offloading and an advanced PCI command set. The adapter is based on Intel's 82542 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, one of the most highly integrated Gigabit controllers on the market today, combining the media access controller (MAC), on-board RAM, and a high-performance 64-bit PCI interface into a single device. In addition, Intel has teamed with Compaq Computer, the industry leading server manufacturer, to deliver the highest possible performance, system compatibility, and server up-time with features like PCI Hot Plug and Intel's Adapter Fault Tolerance. The PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Adapter support IEEE 802.1p and 802.1Q standards. These standards help consolidate, control and maximize network traffic. When combined with features such as fault tolerance, link aggregation and redundant power supplies, Intel's Gigabit solution helps to ensure network connectivity to ''mission critical'' applications. The Intel Gigabit product family provides a comprehensive solution for network administrators seeking to deliver cost-effective, balanced computing performance across entire networks.
