Gigabit Ethernet x4 PCI Express x4 low profile Intel EXPI9404PTL Server Adapter - Network adapter - Quad Port

This is a network adapter designed for servers and high-performance computing environments. It provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for increased network connectivity and redundancy. The card is built for low-profile systems, making it suitable for compact server chassis or workstations with limited space. It supports PCI Express x4 and x8 slots, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of motherboards.

The Intel EXPI9404PTL is ideal for data centers, network administrators, and users requiring high-speed, reliable network connections. Each port delivers up to 1 Gbps of throughput, which is essential for tasks like file transfers, virtualization, and cloud computing. The adapter uses Intel's Pro/1000 technology, known for its stability and performance in demanding environments.

Installation requires a free PCI Express slot on the motherboard. The card is compatible with PCIE Gen 1.0, which was standard in many older systems. Users should ensure their system has sufficient power and cooling, as multiple network ports can increase power consumption slightly.

The adapter comes with four RJ45 ports, each capable of handling standard Ethernet cables. It does not include additional software or drivers beyond what is typically provided by the operating system. Users may need to install specific drivers for optimal performance, especially in server environments.
