Intel EXPI9404PTLBLK PRO/1000 PT Quad Port LP Server Adapter

SKU CH-SSN1-5BZKQ

Adds four Gigabit Ethernet ports via a low-profile PCIe x4 card for Xeon servers

  • Balanced CPU load across cores with Receive-Side Scaling
  • Lower CPU utilisation via Intel I/O Acceleration Technology
  • Fits x4, x8 and x16 PCIe slots for flexible deployment
  • Works with most network operating systems out of the box
  • Dedicated PCIe bandwidth per port for consistent Gigabit throughput

Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Adapter

The Intel EXPI9404PTLBLK is a four-port Gigabit Ethernet server adapter designed for low-profile PCI Express slots. It targets administrators who need multiple wired connections in a single expansion card for rackmount or blade servers.

Check PCIe slot width and bracket height

Verify that your server has an available x4, x8 or x16 PCI Express slot, as the card will not function in an x1 slot. Confirm the chassis accepts a low-profile bracket because the adapter ships in that form factor only.

Intel I/OAT and load-balancing offload

Intel I/O Acceleration Technology moves I/O processing off the CPU, reducing utilisation during heavy traffic. Receive-Side Scaling on Windows or Scalable I/O on Linux distributes incoming packets across cores, improving throughput on multi-processor Xeon systems without extra configuration.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel EXPI9404PTLBLK include cables or brackets, or must they be purchased separately?

The bulk-pack adapter ships without cables or mounting brackets; standard Cat-5 patch cables and a low-profile bracket for the target chassis must be sourced separately.

Should I choose a single-port, dual-port or the quad-port 1000 Mbps version for a multi-core Xeon server?

The quad-port 1000 Mbps model matches multi-core Xeon servers by letting Receive-Side Scaling or Scalable I/O spread four independent Gigabit streams across CPU cores.

What does the 1000 Mbps rating deliver inside a live server with Intel I/OAT enabled?

With Intel I/OAT offloading checksum and copy tasks, each of the four ports can sustain near-wire Gigabit throughput while keeping CPU utilisation low on Xeon platforms.
