ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Infobox computer hardware/doc

This is a documentation subpage for ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Infobox computer hardware
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು page.

This ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು 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 , 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

The following is an explanation of each parameter

name: Device name
logo: Logo for the top of the infobox
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|df=yes/no}}. (See Template:Start date and age/doc for details.)
invent-name: Name of inventor; conn1: What the device connects to (range 1-3)
via1_1: Possible interface for connection (range 1-9)
class-name: Name of the subclassing method
class1: First value in subclassing (range 1-5)
manuf1: Common manufacturers of the device (range 1-5)
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|df=yes/no}}.
discontinued: Date of discontinuation expressed in {{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|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
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
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 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.
