AutoMax Bill of Material Generator
After you have completed the physical configuration of a system, you can
generate a bill of material which lists all of the racks, heads, rails, and modules
used in the system along with the needed batteries, cables, software, and
optional hardware. This bill of material can be used to get a preliminary idea of
the hardware and software needed for your system. However, you should consult
with your Reliance representative or distributor for assistance in configuring your
system as costĆeffectively as possible.
The bill of material is divided into three sections (see the figure below). The first
section lists the number of the racks, heads, rails, and modules in the specified
system. The second section lists the batteries and cables for racks or modules
that typically require them. For example, the Network Communications module
(M/N 57C404) requires a Communications Passive Tap (M/N 57C380) and a cable
(M/N 57C381) to connect the Network Communications module to the Passive
Tap. One Passive Tap and one cable are included for each Network
Communications module. This section also lists the optional hardware and
software that can be used with the specified system. Extra items, such as network
tee connectors, are listed without a quantity. The last section lists all of the generic
cards used in the system along with the descriptions (part number, functional
description, etc.) assigned to them when they were configured.
