Parts and Parts Slots

Device42 lets you manage parts and parts slots across your infrastructure. A part model is a template that defines a type of hardware component (for example, a 3.5" 2TB Dell Drive). A part is a specific instance of that model — an actual physical item you can assign a serial number, location, or device to. Parts can also have ports, defined on the part model template.

A parts slot is a physical receptacle on a device chassis (for example, a RAM slot or drive bay) that can accept a part from inventory. Parts slots are defined on hardware models — see Device Parts Slots.

This section covers how to create and manage part models and parts inventory, and how to import them in bulk. Use the sidebar to navigate to specific topics.
