The plurality of downhole components includes a cement unit which includes a cement chamber and a valve. The cement chamber has a port therethrough in selective communication with the wellbore via the valve. The select fire unit includes a downhole switch electrically coupled to the plurality of downhole components. The downhole switch has a polarity for each of the plurality of downhole components.
