Switches that are not itemized above must be evaluated by the POD network SA to determine if a customized
solution is required. All applicable hardware and technical specifications for the devices must be provided
to the POD network specialist in the initial engagement stage in order to mitigate last-minute customizations.
All customizations impact price, schedule, and resources.
NOTE: Some hardware components are labeled as having front-to-back airflow. However, the
front of the component, as identified by the vendor, might need to be reoriented in order to
prevent overheating and enable proper cooling, as the following image illustrates.
