| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox computer hardware. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| 40x40px | This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. You can conduct experiments, and should test all major changes, in either this template's sandbox, the general template sandbox, or your user space before changing anything here. |
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

All fields, except 'name' are optional
The numbered attributes mean that there is allowance for multiples. The via attributes range from via1_1 to via3_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, or via_3), there can be up to 9 connectors, via#_1 through via#_9.
