Features Benefits
Manageability Features
On-board microcontroller
• Implements pass through manageability via a sideband interface to a Board Management
Controller (BMC) via SMBus
Advanced filtering capabilities
• Supports extended L2, L3, and L4 filtering for traffic routing to BMC
• Supports MAC address, VLAN, ARP, IPv4, IPv6, RMCP UDP ports, and UDP/TCP
ports filtering
• Supports flexible header filtering
• Enables the BMC to share the MAC address with the host OS
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) Support
• Enables system boot up via the LAN (32-bit and 64-bit)
• Flash interface for PXE image
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
and Remote Network Monitoring (RMON)
Statistic Counters
• Easy system monitoring with industry-standard consoles
Wake-on-LAN support
• Packet recognition and wake-up for LAN on motherboard applications without
software configuration
iSCSI boot
• Enables system boot up via iSCSI
• Provides additional network management capability
Watchdog timer
• Used to give an indication to the manageability firmware or external devices that the
chip or the driver is not functioning
IEEE 1588 precision time control protocol
• Time synch capability—synchronizes internal clocks according to a network master clock
Intel Backing
Intel® limited lifetime warranty
• Backed by an Intel® limited lifetime warranty, 90-day money-back guarantee
(U.S. and Canada), and worldwide support

Receive Side Scaling •
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
