How to Use This Guide
The Intel® PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter allows companies to build
cost-effective Storage Area Networks (SANs) using standard LAN/
Ethernet infrastructure. It uses the new, open iSCSI standard to transmit
SCSI storage data over native Ethernet networks, dramatically lowering the
total cost of ownership for storage networks while still offering increased
reliability, availability, scalability, and manageability of stored data. This
adapter is designed to optimize PCI server bus architecture with 66 MHz/
64-bit performance for high-end storage environments, and connects
devices located anywhere on an Ethernet network.
This Quick Installation Guide provides information on how to install the
PRO/1000 T IP Storage Adapter, how to download Windows and Linux
drivers, and basic adapter configuration information. For complete details
on adapter configuration and maintenance, refer to the PRO/1000 T IP
Storage Adapter User Configuration Guide on the CD-ROM.
