I/O Acceleration Technology
The Intel
(R)
I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel(R) I/OAT) is a new Intel platform
network technology that accelerates, optimises and seamlessly scales enterprise servers
on Microsoft Windows Server operating systems.
■ Acceleration moves networking data to applications faster.
■ Optimization allows you to increase the load on your servers without increasing
power consumption.
■ Seamless multiple port scaling gives you increased networking throughput from
teaming along with reliable Server and application availability.
Intel(R) I/OAT requires the following to operate on Microsoft Windows Operating
Systems:
■ A server chipset that is Intel(R) I/OAT capable.
■ Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1or R2 installed.
■ The Scalable Networking Pack from Microsoft.
■ An Intel network connection that is Intel(R) I/OAT capable.
■ The RSS advanced setting must be enabled
■ Both the Offload Receive IP Checksum and Offload Receive TCP Checksum must
be enabled under TCP/IP Offloading Options.
Check to see if the system is capable of using Intel(R) I/OAT and if it is active using the
IOATCHK utility located at the following path:
EXPBUILDER\DRIVERS\NETWORK\INTEL\LANV10.4\PLATFORM\IOATDMA\
WS03/IOATCHK.EXE
To active Intel(R) I/OAT on your system, please apply the activation patch included in
your ExpressBuilder disc. Select the path corresponding to your Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 version.
