Thi article explains the contents of the BOM for SW only platforms like HPE, Cisco, Dell PE etc
Sizer specifically focuses on certian parts of a server. The workload which is being sized determines the number and quantity of each of these parts. These are primarily the CPUs, Memory, SSDs/HDDs and NICs.
However, a server has other non sizer parts which does not impact sizing but are equally important to be a valid and qualified combination. Examples of non sizer parts are boot drive, power supplies, storage controller, chassis etc
The Sizer BOM lists both the sizer and non sizer parts. We need to make sure that all components listed on the HCL are accounted for on the BOM built by your partner. We cannot have any omissions of required components.
An example of a Cisco UCS BOM:
The Sizer parts listed with details and quantity of the CPUs/Memory/SSD/HDD/NICs required.
It is followd by listing of the non sizer parts. This includes Boot Drive, Chassis, Power supply, Storage Controller, Network Adapters.
