Product description

A three-year switch deployment is the most common planning horizon for enterprise access-layer hardware. FC-10-148FP-284-02-36 matches that window exactly: one purchase covers the FortiSwitch 148F-POE under FortiCare Elite from day one through the end of a full 36-month cycle, removing the annual renewal decision and the risk of a coverage gap between fiscal years.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s highest support tier. This 3-year contract for the FortiSwitch 148F-POE includes 24×7 access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center, advanced hardware replacement with next-business-day or better RMA, all software updates and feature releases, and full firmware access for the covered unit across the entire 36-month term. Elite coverage is above FortiCare Premium and Essential and is designed for access-layer environments where unplanned downtime affects users and connected devices.

Who needs it

The FortiSwitch 148F-POE delivers 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4 SFP+ uplinks, and a 370W PoE budget for powering access-layer devices including IP cameras, desk phones, and Wi-Fi access points. Organizations that standardize on 3-year hardware refresh cycles get full coverage alignment with a single 3-year contract, avoiding the per-year overhead of separate annual purchases and the misalignment risk when a unit is missed at renewal time.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-148FP-284-02-36 is an electronic entitlement with no geographic restriction. Fortinet provides a registration key after purchase, which you register against the FS-148F-POE serial number in the FortiCare portal to activate all 36 months from the registration date. No hardware shipment is involved, and delivery reaches buyers worldwide, typically within one business day of order processing.

One service vs the bundle

FortiCare Elite (284) covers TAC access, hardware replacement, and firmware rights only. FortiGuard security subscriptions and FortiCloud management are separate line items and are not included. Purchasing the support contract independently gives each service its own renewal date, which simplifies budget planning when subscription and support cycles do not align.

Frequently asked questions

What does FortiCare Elite cover on the FortiSwitch 148F-POE?
FortiCare Elite (code 284) includes 24×7 TAC support, advanced RMA with next-business-day or better hardware replacement, all software and firmware updates, and web-based case management for the FS-148F-POE unit registered under the contract.
Does FC-10-148FP-284-02-36 include FortiGuard security subscriptions?

When does the 3-year term start?
The term begins on the registration date in the FortiCare portal. Fortinet does not back-date contracts, so registering promptly after purchase maximizes the covered period.
Can this contract be transferred if the switch changes ownership?
FortiCare contracts are tied to the hardware serial number. If ownership transfers, the support contract typically transfers with the unit. Contact Fortinet or DataCenter360.ca for the formal transfer process.
Is FC-10-148FP-284-02-36 available to buyers outside Canada?
Yes. FortiCare Elite is an electronic entitlement delivered worldwide. There are no geographic restrictions on purchasing or activating this license.
