Sorry, I hasn't noticed your reply.. so we can let the user specify the problem 
in the description entry (slot or category of hardware) or add a second entry. 
In the last case we could ask to specify the slot where some restrictions are 
applied. Perhaps the best choice would be to specify card and slot, if known.

Another option would be to add a totally free text entry named:

"does exist any restriction related to the substitution of some inner device?" 
(to find the best sentence here, sorry for my bad English)

with the following notice below (similar to the ones used for the model name 
and other names entries):

"an example: it prevents the installation of cards not-approved by the vendor. 
Please specify the type of restriction, the slot used and the category of 
hardware substituted and any other relevant detail"
