On Challenge S systems only one
Challenge S systems may use only one
.Nm
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'
DMA channels for the additional
.Xr sq 4
Ethernet.
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).
All other DMA-capable boards must be placed in slot 0 (closest to
the edge of the case).
In either case the other slot may only accommodate a PIO card.
DMA-capable expansion card, despite having two slots.
Cards based on the
.Xr hpc 4
controller, such as the GIO32 scsi and E++ ethernet adapters, must be
placed in slot 1 (closest to the side of the case).
All other cards must be placed in slot 0 (adjacent to the memory banks).
.Pp
Indigo2 and Challenge M systems contain either three or four GIO64 connectors,
depending on the model.
