- 2->Bus Node ID

- 3->Channel Number

- 4->Channel Number (used for multi-channel devices)

- 5->Logical Slot number

  - EISA: they correspond to the physical slot numbers (1-3)

  - PCI:

    - slot 6= On board VGA (DS3300)

    - slot 7= PCI to EISA bridge chip (DS3300)

    - slots 11 - 14 = Correspond to Physical PCI option slots: PCI11, PCI12, PCI13 and PCI14 (64bit) (DS3300)
