Check content

The reviewer will interview the IAO to verify that a Network review has been performed on the network that the KVM switch is attached and that all findings discovered during the network review dealing with the KVM switch have been closed.

Fix text

Perform a self-assessment on the network the KVM switch is attached or request FSO to schedule and perform a Network review. Following the review close all findings.
