| This template is currently being merged with Template:Infobox computer peripheral. This template is being merged with another template, according to the specific instructions at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Holding cell, after which it will be redirected or deleted. The decision to merge this template was made following [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2015 July 28#Infobox computer peripheral|this discussion initiated on Template:YMD to ISO]] at Templates for discussion. Note: Please review this template's instructions at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Holding cell before proceeding with any type of merging. |
[[Category:Infobox templates|Template:Remove first word]]
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.

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
{{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}}. (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
{{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}}. - discontinued
- Date of discontinuation expressed in
{{End date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}}. - 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 via attributes range from via1_1 to via4_9 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.
