Three years of uninterrupted support coverage aligns with the typical campus infrastructure refresh cycle, and FC-10-W0226-284-02-36 delivers exactly that for the FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE. By locking in FortiCare Elite for three years at a single purchase, you eliminate the annual renewal overhead and reduce the per-year cost compared to three consecutive 1-year contracts. This term is the most common choice for organizations that have committed the FS-224D-FPOE to a stable role in their access layer and want guaranteed TAC and RMA coverage through the next planned refresh.
FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s top hardware support tier. This 3-year contract for the FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE provides 24×7 access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center, next-business-day or better advance RMA hardware replacement, and download rights to all FortiSwitchOS firmware updates and security patches released over the 36-month coverage window. The contract is tied to the serial number of your specific FS-224D-FPOE unit. FortiGuard security subscriptions are separate and are not included in this support contract.
The FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE offers 24 GE access ports, four SFP uplinks, and a 370W full-PoE budget, making it a workhorse for environments with dense PoE endpoint requirements: IP surveillance systems, VoIP deployments, and multi-AP wireless floors. IT teams that have validated the FS-224D-FPOE in production and plan to run it for at least three years benefit most from this term. It is also a common choice for managed service providers maintaining guaranteed uptime SLAs for their customers, where a lapsed support contract mid-engagement creates unacceptable risk.
FC-10-W0226-284-02-36 is an electronic license with no physical shipment. After purchase, Fortinet sends a contract registration code by email. You apply it in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the serial number of your FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE. The 36-month coverage period starts on the activation date you select at registration. Electronic delivery means the license can be fulfilled and activated by teams anywhere in the world without waiting for physical goods to clear customs or ship.
FortiCare Elite is a support and RMA contract, not a FortiGuard security subscription. Over a 3-year window, that distinction matters: FortiGuard subscription pricing and renewal conditions change independently of hardware support. Keeping them separate means a change to your security posture (adding FortiGuard IPS, for example) does not require renegotiating your support contract, and vice versa. The 3-year term on this contract also means three years of FortiSwitchOS update access, covering any OS security advisories Fortinet issues for the 224D-FPOE during that period.
