A6096A is the core I/O card of the HP 9000 rp8400 servers ordered before September 2003. The rp8400 servers ordered after September 2003 were delivered with core I/O product A7109A instead.
The two cards differ in the upgrade to the newer servers. A7109A is supported in the rp8400 to rp8420 upgrade, and A6096A is not. The same holds for the rp8400 to rx8620 upgrade, where A6096A is not supported either. AB306A is the core I/O card of the HP 9000 rp8420 and the HP Integrity rx8620, and it replaces the old rp8400 card. Core I/O cards of the rp8400 cannot be carried forward to the rp8440 or to the rx8640.
A customer who returns the old A6096A card can get a return credit. The credit product is A6096AN option 001. The newer rp8400 card, A7109A, does not have to be replaced in the upgrade.
