As can be seen best in the partially exploded view of FIG. 2, the top cover 30 and the faceplate 100 can be installed onto the sidewalls 14 in order to substantially enclose the computing components 52 within the interior 17 of the switch 10. More specifically, in the depicted embodiment, the faceplate 100 spans a front 20 of the switch 10 and the top cover 30 spans a top of the switch 10. The faceplate 100 may be connected to the remainder of housing 11 via any suitable connections included along the edges of the faceplate 100 (or anywhere else on the faceplate). However, since the front 20 of the switch 10 includes various features that provide access to the computing components 52—either physical access for a cooling media or operative access for a data connection—the faceplate 100 includes various openings, such as IOM openings 110 and ventilation openings 120 (also referred to as vent openings 120).
