Adapter Product Features
Intel® PROSet Utility For easy conguration
and management
Plug and play specication support Standard
Receive Side Scaling Multiple Rx queues enable the
efcient distribution of net-
work receive processing across
multiple CPUs in multiprocessor
systems
Direct Cache Access (DCA) The I/O device activates a pre-
fetch engine in the CPU that
loads the data into the CPU
cache ahead of time, before
use, eliminating cache misses
and reducing CPU load
