Template:Infobox computer hardware/doc

This is for generic pieces of computer hardware that don't have more specific infoboxes, such as hard drives, motherboards, CD-ROMs etc. It should not be used for hardware such as CPUs that have their own specific infoboxes. External hardware should not use this box either.

Usage


Parameters
The following is an explanation of each parameter:


 * name: Device name
 * logo: Logo for the top of the infobox
 * logo_caption: Caption of the logo that appears below it. Should not be used to provide trivial captions, such as "This is the logo of X", which is automatically assumed. Reserved for special cases when a description beyond telling the obvious is needed, or for inserting ffdc or deletable image-caption.
 * image: Image to show in the infobox
 * caption: Caption for the image
 * invent-date: Date of invention expressed in . (See Template:Start date and age/doc for details.)
 * invent-name: Name of inventor
 * conn1: What the device connects to (range 1-4)


 * via1_1: Possible interface for connection (range 1-9)
 * class-name: Name of the subclassing method
 * class1: First value in subclassing (range 1-6)
 * manuf1: Common manufacturers of the device (range 1-7)
 * designfirm: Often, but not always, the same as manufacturer
 * manufacturer: Common manufacturers of the device
 * introduced: Date of introduction expressed in.
 * discontinued: Date of discontinuation expressed in.
 * cost: Introductory price
 * type: Type of hardware (extension card/sound card/graphics card...)
 * processor: Type of processor/pic/chip
 * frequency: Speed of the processor
 * memory: Amount of built in memory, if any, expressed in bytes or one of the derivative units such as kB, MB or GB
 * slots:
 * rom:
 * coprocessor: Type of coprocessor
 * connection: Connection (PCI/PCI-E/USB....)
 * ports: Connections on the device, such as PATA, SCSI, SATA...
 * power: Power consumption, expressed W/kWh
 * color:
 * dpi:
 * speed:
 * language:
 * weight: Device weight, expressed in kg
 * dimensions: Width, depth and height of the device, normally expressed in cm

All fields, except 'name', are optional

The numbered attributes mean that there is allowance for multiples. The  attributes range from   to   where the first number corresponds to the appropriate connection number and the second number is the position in that connections 'via' list. For each connection (via_1, via_2, via_3 or via_4), there can be up to 9 connectors, via#_1 through via#_9.
