Network gurus...LAN setup question

A friend asked me if I could setup his network in his new office, so I told him I'd give it a shot. It's already been wired and everything, only the computers and network gear needs to be setup. The guy who did the wiring ran one blue jacket Cat-5e wire in the wiring room, and then split it off into multiple drops (in different rooms) for wall jacks somewhere in the ceiling. In the wiring room, that blue cable terminates to a single RJ-45 jack. Here's what I'm assuming the network setup should look like:

The computers plug into the wall jacks which feed to the blue cable in the wiring room.
Plug the switch into the RJ45 jack in the wiring room.
Plug Cisco PIX firewall into switch.
Connect internet connection (don't know what they are getting yet) into Cisco PIX firewall.

Sound about right?
