Tim, Your problem seems to me that you can't picture the 'first' switch. I visualize that first switch as existing in the software of the program interacting with the software of the operating system.

The program says 'take the data at this logical location'. The OS says 'that logical location is this physical location -- CPU, send a request for that data' and the cpu closes the switch to get the data.

My visualization only.
