The form factor of the memory module that a product can accept, such as DIMM or SO‑DIMM. It indicates whether the device uses standard desktop RAM modules (DIMM) or smaller laptop‑style modules (SO‑DIMM).

Indicates whether the product includes at least one built‑in microphone. A value of "Yes" means that the device has an integrated microphone, while "No" indicates it does not.

The model of the motherboard’s chipset, indicating the family of supported processors and integrated features such as I/O interfaces, memory support, and peripheral connectivity.

The chipset family identifies the group of integrated circuits that manage communication between a computer’s CPU, memory, and peripheral devices on a motherboard. It indicates the supported processor families, available I/O interfaces, and overall system capabilities, helping users assess compatibility and feature sets for motherboards or other hardware components.

The physical layout and size classification of a motherboard, such as ATX, Micro‑ATX, Mini‑ITX, or other standardized formats. It indicates the dimensions, mounting points, and expansion capabilities that determine compatibility with computer cases and components.

Indicates whether the memory module does not support error‑correcting code (ECC). A value of Yes means the module lacks ECC protection, while No means it includes ECC functionality.

The total count of electrical connectors on a computer chassis that accept cooling fans. This value indicates how many separate fan units can be attached to the case for airflow management, allowing users to assess cooling capacity and compatibility with their system.

The total count of physical SATA III (Serial ATA Revision 3) ports available on a product. It indicates how many internal connections can be used to attach storage devices such as hard drives or solid‑state drives that support the SATA III interface.

The total count of physical PCI Express x1 expansion slots available on a device, indicating how many single‑lane interfaces can be used for peripherals such as low‑power graphics cards or add‑on modules.

The physical connector used by a processor to attach to a motherboard or other compatible platform. Common examples include LGA 1151, BGA 1440, Socket AM4, and LGA 1200. This attribute indicates the exact socket designation required for proper CPU installation and compatibility.

A comma‑separated list that specifies the RAID configurations supported by a storage controller or device. Each entry can be a numeric level (e.g., 0, 1, 5, 10) or a special label such as JBOD. This attribute indicates which disk arrangements the system can manage.

The operating frequencies that a processor or memory module can run at, expressed in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). This attribute lists all supported clock rates, allowing users to understand the performance range of the component.

A list of the types of storage drives that a product can accommodate or use, such as HDD, SSD, or hybrid configurations. Each entry indicates a distinct drive type that is supported by the device’s bays, slots, or external interfaces.

Indicates whether the product includes a physical port that can accept a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip, enabling hardware‑based security features such as secure boot and encrypted storage.

The total number of physical USB 2.0 ports available on a product. This value indicates how many separate USB 2.0 interfaces can be used for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, storage devices or other accessories.
