Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter Driver for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-based Systems 18.4

This driver package is your one stop solution for getting a whole bunch of Intel network adapters up and running on a specific, older server system. It's designed for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium based Systems, which was a powerful platform in its day.

While the package is named for the Intel Gigabit ET Quad Port Server Adapter, it actually supports a massive list of Intel hardware. Think of it as a comprehensive toolkit for your server's network connectivity. It covers everything from classic Gigabit adapters to high performance 10 Gigabit models.

Here’s a snapshot of the supported devices you’ll find in this pack:

You get drivers for the PRO/1000 PT and PF series adapters, including single, dual, and quad port versions. It also handles the Gigabit ET, EF, and CT adapters. For more modern needs, it includes support for the entire Intel X520 series of 10 Gigabit adapters (like the X520 T2, SR2, and DA2), the I350 and I340 series, and the X540 converged network adapters.

The support even extends down to the core controller chips themselves, like the Intel 82599 and 82598 for 10 Gigabit, and the 82580EB, 82575EB, and 82574 for Gigabit. So, whether you have a dedicated Intel add in card or a server motherboard with one of these Intel network controllers built in, this driver package likely has you covered.

In short, if you're maintaining an older Itanium server running Windows Server 2008 R2, this single driver installation ensures all these Intel network components will work properly, keeping your server connected and communicating on the network.
