Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I210-T1 - Gigabit PCIe Network Card with AVB and Power Management

The Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter I210-T1 offers reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity tailored for enterprise and data center environments. Built on Intel's proven technology, this plug-in PCI Express card supports high-speed network speeds with features designed to optimize performance and efficiency. Its advanced design supports PCI Express Gen 2.1 with 2.5GT/s throughput, ensuring fast and stable data transfer for demanding server applications. Compatible with both full-height and low-profile slots, it is suitable for a variety of server configurations, providing flexibility and ease of installation.

This adapter introduces innovative power management features such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and DMA Coalescing (DMAC) to reduce power consumption without compromising performance. EEE complies with IEEE 802.3az standards, allowing the adapter to negotiate low power idle states during periods of low network activity, reducing power use by approximately 50 percent. When network demand increases, the adapter swiftly transitions back to full power, ensuring seamless connectivity. DMA Coalescing further reduces power by minimizing system wake-ups caused by incoming network packets, thereby conserving energy on the server platform.

The I210 supports IEEE 802.1Qav Audio-Video Bridging (AVB), enabling precise media stream synchronization, buffering, and reservation. This is essential for applications requiring tightly controlled latency and bandwidth guarantees, such as real-time audio and video streaming. The adapter also features four transmit and four receive queues with Error Correcting Memory (ECC) protection, optimizing data reliability and minimizing latency. Its firmware includes a signed authenticated capability that verifies device integrity and firmware authenticity, enhancing security and stability.

Designed with enterprise needs in mind, the Intel Ethernet I210 Series incorporates forward-thinking power management and performance optimization technologies. Its compact, low-halogen construction and ventilated bracket improve thermal efficiency and reduce power consumption. The package includes the Ethernet Server Adapter I210 and a low-profile bracket, making it suitable for a broad range of server configurations. This adapter is a dependable choice for organizations seeking high-performance, energy-efficient network connectivity with advanced AVB support and security features.
