This template is used to build a more specific infobox for particular types of devices. See Template:Ethernet Infobox for example use.

Valid parameters and examples are:

Parameter/example	Purpose	Valid values
Image = Image.jpg	Photo of the device	Use the default name wherever possible (i.e. do not use this option unless you have to). If there are characters that cannot be used in a filename (e.g. a forward slash), try to find a Unicode equivalent to use instead (e.g. mathematical division slash) which are allowed in filenames and look the same.
Bus type = Value	Card interface	The bus type is a text field containing only one of the following permitted values: Expansion cards ISA - original ISA bus EISA - IBM's extended ISA bus (VLB cards are often mistakenly called EISA, make sure it really is EISA!) VLB - VESA Local Bus PCI - original PCI (not PCI Express) AGP PCIe - PCI Express Drives IDE - standard IDE drives SCSI - devices connected to the SCSI bus PC Floppy - standard floppy drives with Shugart 34-pin interface Shugart 50-pin - older PC-compatible floppy interface for 8" drives USB - devices that connect to USB CPUs FSB - Intel Front Side Bus Other buses should be added to this list as needed. If a device is available with more than one bus type, a different page should be created for each version of the device, as technically those cards are slightly different models. If a card has multiple bus connections (e.g. some POST cards support both PCI and ISA on different edges of the card) then pick the oldest one, and list the others in the article text using code similar to this: This card also has a [[Bus type::PCI]] connector.
Bus width = Value	Width of bus	The bus type is a text field containing only one of the following permitted values, which vary depending on the bus type: Expansion cards ISA: 8-bit, 16-bit VLB: 32-bit (VLB 1.0), 64-bit (VLB 2.0) PCI: 32-bit, 64-bit AGP: 32-bit PCIe: x1, x2, x4, x8, x16 - size of connector on the card, make a note in the article if the card is electrically less than this Drives PC Floppy: 1-bit (only one read and one write line) IDE: 16-bit (PIO), 32-bit (UDMA) SCSI: 8-bit (narrow SCSI), 16-bit (wide SCSI) General USB: 1-bit (only one read and one write lane)
Bus speed = Value	Rated maximum bus speed of device	Values depend on the bus type: ISA: 8 MHz VLB: 40 MHz (VLB 1.0), 50 MHz (VLB 2.0) PCI: 33 MHz, 66 MHz, 133 MHz AGP: 66 MHz PCIe: ? - should be a way here of distinguishing between PCIe 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc.
8-bit ISA compatible = Value	16-bit ISA only: Does the card work in an 8-bit slot?	Yes, No or Unknown
PCI 5V = Value	PCI only: Will the card work in 5 VDC slots?	Yes, No or Unknown
PCI 3.3V = Value	PCI only: Will the card work in 3.3 VDC slots?	Yes, No or Unknown
Manufacturer = Value	Company name of manufacturer	Be consistent so all cards with the same manufacturer are grouped together
Chipset = Value	Primary card chipset	Be consistent so all cards with the same chipset are grouped together. If there is more than one large chip, try to pick the biggest or the one most related to network processes.
Compatible with = Value	Generic interfaces that can be used to control this card	Valid values depend on the device type, see the device-specific infobox page for a list.
Connectors = Value	Which connectors are on the card?	Comma separated list of Has connector elements. Valid values depend on the device type, see the device-specific infobox page for a list.
Extra fields = Value	Additional infobox fields for more specific infoboxes to use	Zero or more whitespace-separated instances of Template:Infobox Item.
Requires -5VDC = Value	Does the card require -5V present to function correctly?	Yes, No or Unknown. PCI and newer slots do not supply 5V so this should always be set to No for those devices.
Requires -12VDC = Value	Does the card require -12V present to function correctly?	Yes, No or Unknown
Config = Value	Configuration method used to set card resources (addresses, IRQ, etc.)	Comma separated list, one or more of: [[Config method::Jumpers]] (some or all resources are set via physical jumpers on the card) [[Config method::Software]] (some or all resources are set with a manufacturer-provided configuration program) [[Config method::PnP]] (some or all resources are set via the ISA/PCI plug-n-play specification, requiring a PnP BIOS or configuration manager program to be used) [[Config method::None]] (none of the resources can be changed at all)
Driver = Wikilink	Link to latest driver download	Avoid multiple links - if it is important to have multiple downloads, put them in a 'downloads' section in the article. Example: Driver = [http://example.com/example.zip example.zip]
IsInfoboxPage = Value	Internal use only, do not use	This value is set to Y on infobox pages to avoid the infoboxes themselves being added to categories like 'missing images'.

Default values are shown if the parameter is omitted, so do not use any parameters unless the value is known (most of the defaults say "unknown")
