PURCHASE CHECKS
1. State physical interface demand and required service functions before selecting a router platform.
2. Identify the installed modules and forwarding resources. A chassis name does not describe a complete configuration.
3. Confirm feature entitlement, supported software and account or support transfer for the actual offered unit.
4. Match redundant power, fan direction and cooling to the site and deployment plan.
5. Request module inventory, labels and actual console records as separate evidence; do not simulate a monitor-connected product scene.
