Challenge S systems may use only one

expansion slot may be used with a DMA-capable device.
|

This is due to the fact that the IOPLUS board uses one of the slots'

Which slot to use with a DMA-capable card depends on the card in

question.

HPC1.5-based cards, such as the E++ Ethernet Adapter and GIO32 SCSI

Adapter, must be placed in slot 1 (next to the memory banks).
