Fortinet FortiSwitch 124F 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-S124N-211-02-36)

A 3-year Priority RMA contract is the practical choice when the FortiSwitch-124F is part of a stable network that won’t see a hardware refresh until the contract expires. FC-10-S124N-211-02-36 covers 3 full years of 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA — if the switch fails at any point during that period, a replacement unit is dispatched by courier targeting delivery within 4 hours of exchange confirmation, seven days a week, including holidays.

What This Contract Covers

FC-10-S124N-211-02-36 is a 3-year Priority RMA add-on for the FortiSwitch-124F. An active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same serial number is required. Coverage includes:

• Replacement unit dispatched by courier with a 4-hour on-site delivery target after exchange confirmation
• 24/7 coverage including weekends and public holidays for the full 36-month term
• Hardware delivery only — installation and FortiLink re-adoption are the customer’s responsibility
• Single contract renewal instead of three annual renewals

Why Choose a 3-Year Term

The FortiSwitch-124F is a fixed-port access switch that rarely changes roles in a deployment. Once it’s racked and FortiLink-adopted by the managing FortiGate, it typically stays in place until the broader network refresh cycle. A 3-year Priority RMA contract aligns with that cadence, eliminating the annual renewal step and locking in current contract pricing for the full period. For organizations managing multiple FortiSwitch units across a campus or branch network, multi-year terms across all units also simplify the contract renewal calendar.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic entitlement delivered worldwide. DataCenter360.ca sends the license key by email within 0–1 business days of purchase. Register the contract in the Fortinet Support Portal under the FortiSwitch-124F serial number for immediate activation. When a failure occurs, a TAC case triggers the 4-hour hardware dispatch process. The 36-month coverage period begins on the registered start date.

Other Term Options

The 1-year term (FC-10-S124N-211-02-12) is the right choice for shorter deployment windows or for evaluating 4-hour RMA coverage before committing to a longer period. The 5-year term (FC-10-S124N-211-02-60) offers the longest coverage span and the lowest effective annual cost for deployments that won’t see a hardware refresh before the contract expires.
