HP A5150A Adapter Overview

About the A5150A AdapterAbout the A5150A Adapter

The A5150A Dual Channel PCI Ultra2 SCSI host adapter board provides two SCSI-3 Ultra2 SCSI interfaces to PCI computer systems that require BIOS support on the add-in SCSI adapter. Installing this adapter in your PCI system allows connection of SCSI devices over a SCSI bus.

The dual channel A5150A board provides 16-bit Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and 16-bit Single-Ended (SE) SCSI solutions for your system using only one PCI slot. This board supports legacy Fast SCSI devices, Ultra SCSI devices, and the newest Ultra2 SCSI devices.

Consult with your Hewlett-Packard representative for more information on specific system configurations.
