Fortinet FortiSwitch 124F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-S124N-210-02-60)

For a FortiSwitch-124F that is installed as a permanent access-layer fixture — a wiring closet in a lease space, a campus secondary distribution point, or a branch office that is not scheduled for a hardware refresh — five years of Priority RMA is the most efficient coverage structure. FC-10-S124N-210-02-60 delivers 60 months of Next Calendar Day hardware replacement: a replacement FortiSwitch-124F is dispatched the following calendar day after a confirmed failure, any day of the week, for the full five-year term.

What This Contract Covers

FC-10-S124N-210-02-60 is a 5-year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA add-on for the FortiSwitch-124F. It requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same device. Coverage includes:

• A replacement FortiSwitch-124F dispatched by courier on the next calendar day after exchange confirmation
• Coverage 365 days a year, including weekends and public holidays
• Country-specific cutoff times determine whether a case confirmed on a given day dispatches that day or the following
• 60 months of continuous coverage from the contract start date

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

Priority RMA add-on contracts require FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device. Here is how the underlying support tiers handle RMA:

Why 5 Years of Priority RMA

Five years eliminates four annual renewal cycles. For IT teams managing switches across multiple locations, that is four fewer purchase orders, four fewer activation steps, and four fewer potential coverage lapses per device. The 5-year contract is also the lowest per-year cost option for Priority RMA when comparing across the available terms. Organizations treating the FortiSwitch-124F as long-cycle infrastructure — rather than a device subject to annual refresh decisions — will find the 5-year contract the most straightforward option: purchase once, register once, covered for the full lifecycle.

FortiSwitch-124F Deployment Context

The FortiSwitch-124F supports 24 Gigabit ports and 4 SFP uplinks, integrating with FortiGate firewalls via FortiLink for centralized security management and access policy enforcement. In a typical branch or office deployment, the FortiSwitch-124F is the only switch in the stack — a hardware failure takes all wired endpoints offline simultaneously. The 5-year Priority RMA contract ensures that regardless of when a failure occurs across the switch’s production life, a replacement is on its way the following calendar day.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-S124N-210-02-60 is an electronic entitlement delivered worldwide. After purchase through DataCenter360.ca, the license key arrives by email within 0–1 business days. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal under the FortiSwitch-124F serial number. Coverage is active immediately upon registration. When a hardware failure occurs, open a TAC case and Fortinet initiates the next-calendar-day dispatch after confirming the exchange.

1-Year and 3-Year Alternatives

The 1-year (FC-10-S124N-210-02-12) and 3-year (FC-10-S124N-210-02-36) contracts cover the same service level at shorter terms and lower upfront cost. The 1-year contract suits shorter deployment windows or organizations evaluating Priority RMA before committing to a longer term. The 3-year contract matches a standard network refresh cycle. The 5-year contract is the right choice when the FortiSwitch-124F is expected to remain in production for the full term and minimizing renewal administration is a priority.
