Set Up Intel Adapters
Before you install Packet Protect, install the necessary Intel adapters on your
servers and clients that will use Packet Protect. Packet Protect only operates
with Intel adapters that are configured to use Intel drivers.
Install Intel Adapters
Packet Protect works with Intel adapters that are designed to offload CPU-inten-
sive tasks to the adapter. This helps reduce the impact to network performance
and CPU utilization. Intel adapters that support the offload capabilities include
the following:
• Intel PRO/100 S Server Adapter
• Intel PRO/100 S Management Adapter
Note:
Although Intel adapters can be installed on various operating
systems, Packet Protect supports only Windows NT* 4.0 with
Service Pack 5.
Note:
Packet Protect also works with the following Intel
