A5160A is the HP PCI 2-port Ultra2 SCSI card, a mass storage host bus adapter for the HP 9000 rp8420. It uses VHDCI connectors, runs from HP-UX 11.00 onward, does not support boot, and is hot plug and factory integrated. The rp8420 takes up to 16 A5160A cards.
The rp8420 has hot-plug PCI-X slots, and its PCI-X backplane is backward compatible with the older PCI backplane and supports many PCI host bus adapter cards, A5160A among them. The 1-port card A5149A has the same HP-UX 11.00 first release, no boot support and VHDCI connector, while the multifunction card A5838A adds a 2-port 100Base-T LAN to its 2 Ultra2 SCSI ports and does support boot.
When an rp8420 is upgraded to an HP Integrity rx8620, A5160A is one of the mass storage cards that are not compatible; the other is A7143A. Most of the 33 I/O adapters available for the rp8420 can be used after the upgrade.
