The Intel PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters provide in-line server appliances, such as Intrusion Protection Servers (IPSes), with high-performance, low-latency, in-line connectivity, and a bypass mode to ensure business continuity. These adapters also use the PCI Express serial bus for greater throughput, and they support Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT) for further performance enhancement, including the reduced overhead so important to IPS applications. The Intel PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapter is intended for use by equipment manufacturer hardware designers in application-specific in-line server appliances, where a bypass mode is desirable. This product is a NIC-in-front version. It provides a front-panel connector, LED and cable assemblies to allow port access and LED displays at the front of the server.
