Intel Ethernet Server Adapter I210-T1 - PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Card for Servers

The Intel® Ethernet Server Adapter I210-T1 delivers reliable high-performance networking for enterprise and data center servers. Built on proven Gigabit Ethernet technology, this PCI Express Gen 2.1 card supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds and offers advanced features designed to optimize network efficiency and power consumption. Its robust design ensures seamless integration into server environments, providing stable connectivity and enhanced media streaming capabilities.

The I210-T1 supports IEEE 802.1Qav Audio-Video Bridging (AVB), enabling tightly controlled media stream synchronization, buffering, and reservation for time-sensitive applications. It includes features such as stream reservation protocols and forwarding enhancements, ensuring minimal latency and consistent media quality. The adapter's four transmit and four receive queues, combined with Error Correcting Memory (ECC), optimize packet handling, reduce latency, and improve data integrity. Support for Receive Side Scaling (RSS) and MSI-X further enhances performance on multi-core servers, making it suitable for demanding enterprise workloads.

Power efficiency is a key focus of the I210 series, with innovative power management technologies such as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) and DMA Coalescing (DMAC). EEE reduces power during periods of low network activity by negotiating low power idle states with switch ports, decreasing controller power by approximately 50%. When network traffic increases, the adapter swiftly transitions back to full power, ensuring high throughput without wasting energy. DMAC minimizes power consumption by managing DMA requests efficiently, reducing unnecessary wake-ups of system components. Additionally, the adapter's ultra-compact form factor and ventilated bracket design enhance cooling and energy efficiency, making it ideal for space-constrained server setups.

This plug-in card is designed for easy installation, supporting both full-height and low-profile brackets. It is manufactured in Malaysia and comes with a retail package containing the Ethernet Adapter I210 and a low-profile bracket. The device supports server applications with a focus on network reliability, power efficiency, and media streaming quality, making it an excellent choice for enterprise network infrastructure.
