Product Description
Now, for the first time, Intel network adapters enable you to deploy Gigabit Ethernet end-to-end. Quickly and inexpensively increase the speed on your existing network infrastructure all the way to the desktop. Intel's Gigabit-over-copper adapters let you migrate servers and demanding PCs to Gigabit speeds without costly cable replacement. They run on the same Category-5 cable that makes up most of the network infrastructure in buildings today. And, because Intel server adapters are designed with advanced features such as link aggregation, you can easily scale your servers to multi-Gigabit speeds to accommodate Gigabit performance on your desktops.The Intel PRO/1000 XF Server Adapter provides industry-leading Gigabit performance for connecting servers and workstations via fiber-optic cabling.

Fire up your next-generation network today with Intel's PWLA8490XF PRO/1000 XF server adapter. The adapter's Intel 82544EI Gigabit controller offers reliable high performance, while its high-noise-resistance 1000 BASE-SX fiber connection permits longer cable lengths and maintains signal integrity at speeds up to 1000 Mbps. Using a PCI-X bus at 64-bits/133 MHz alleviates server bottlenecks while increasing uptime.
Advanced offloading provides maximum server scalability while keeping CPU usage to a minimum. And, since it's Fast Ethernet-compatible, the adapter reduces training costs. Cutting-edge IEEE 802.3z and IEEE 802.3ad compliance ensure standards interoperability, while features like Adaptive Load Balancing, Gigabit EtherChannel, and Intel Link Aggregation afford scalability and high network availability.
Mixed adapter teaming means flexibility and broad compatibility, not to mention the ability to team any combination of Intel PRO/1000 Server Adapters as well as Intel 10/100 server adapters.
Want convenience? Try online serviceability via PCI hot plug/active PCI. You'll also enjoy driver backward compatibility, since a single driver works with all current Gigabit products, further reducing your support costs.
Designed for high-performance on server-bus architectures, the PWLA8490XF's connection supports 32/33, 32/66, 64/66, 64/100, and 64/133.
