Quad-port Gigabit server adapter

The Intel E1G44HT adds four RJ45 ports over a single PCIe 2.0 slot using the integrated Intel 82580 controller. It targets administrators who need dense 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity for virtualised hosts or network appliances without consuming multiple expansion slots.

Low-power operation within 0 °C to 55 °C

The fully integrated quad-port design reduces board-level power dissipation compared with discrete multi-controller cards. Passive cooling is sufficient in typical server airflow, keeping acoustic impact negligible while the adapter maintains line-rate throughput across all four ports.

Halogen-free PCB with standard bracket

The eco-friendly board meets RoHS-era material restrictions and fits a conventional full-height bracket for direct installation in rackmount or tower chassis. Four RJ45 connectors face the rear panel, allowing straightforward cable routing to patch panels or top-of-rack switches without specialised mounting hardware.

Questions about this item

How do I install the E1G44HT into a PCIe 2.0 slot, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into an x4 or wider PCIe 2.0 slot, secure the bracket screw, then connect all four RJ45 cables; the step often missed is attaching the bracket screw before cabling, which can stress the board.

What maintenance will the Intel 82580 controller need over time?

The 82580 controller has no moving parts; maintenance is limited to keeping the RJ45 ports free of dust and verifying link lights remain green at 1000Mbps.

At what temperature does the quad-port adapter hit its operating limit under sustained load?

The specified operating range tops out at 55°C; sustained loads that push the card beyond this temperature will trigger thermal throttling or shutdown first.
