Dual-Port Gigabit Server Adapter

The Dell PRO/1000 PT adds two RJ-45 Ethernet ports through a single PCI Express slot. It targets administrators upgrading rackmount or tower servers that need redundant or aggregated 10/100/1000Base-T links. The standard-height bracket fits common chassis without extra hardware. Buyers requiring fibre uplinks or 10 GbE speeds should look elsewhere.

Thermals and Power Profile

The plug-in card draws power directly from the bus and relies on chassis airflow across its 3.1 by 6.6 inch board. No active cooler is present so acoustic output stays at the level of the host fans. Typical load keeps consumption modest and within the slot specification. Environments with restricted airflow must verify that server fans can move enough air across the 2.7 inch thick profile.

Bracket and Compliance Contents

A standard-height bracket ships installed so the card seats in full-size expansion bays immediately. RoHS certification confirms the assembly meets restricted-substance limits for deployment in regulated markets. No cables, driver discs or management utilities are bundled; the operating system or Dell support site supplies the necessary software. Installers needing low-profile brackets must source them separately.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DELL X3959 PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter into a PCI Express slot?

Power down the server, open the chassis, and insert the card firmly into an available PCI Express slot. The step often missed is securing the standard bracket with a screw so the two RJ-45 ports align with the rear opening.

What maintenance or replacement will the DELL X3959 PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter need later?

No scheduled maintenance is required. If a port or the controller fails, the entire adapter is replaced as a single unit.

What limit appears first on the DELL X3959 PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter under sustained 1000Base-T traffic?

The PCI Express host interface and the two RJ-45 ports each cap at 1000 Mbps, so sustained throughput cannot exceed that gigabit rate per port.
