Hardware identifies some physical component of a computer system. Even though DocBook provides a broad range of inlines for describing the various software components of a system, it provides relatively few for describing hardware.
If you need to identify a number of different hardware components, you may wish to consider extending DocBook, or at least using the Role attribute to further classify Hardware.
Processing expectations
Formatted inline. The MoreInfo attribute can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
Future Changes
In DocBook V4.0, the content model of Hardware will be constrained to (#PCDATA | Replaceable | InlineGraphic).
