Fortinet FortiSwitch-124F-FPOE Next-Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-S124F-210-02-60)

When PoE infrastructure is planned for a long lifecycle — multi-year campus deployments, branch office buildouts with stable device sets — the cost of annual support contract renewals adds up in both dollars and administrative time. The FC-10-S124F-210-02-60 locks in five years of Next Calendar Day Priority RMA on the FortiSwitch-124F-FPOE upfront, covering the full expected service window without requiring renewal events and typically at a better per-year cost than stacking single-year contracts.

What Next Calendar Day Priority RMA Covers

FC-10-S124F-210-02-60 is a 5-year Priority RMA add-on for the FortiSwitch-124F-FPOE. On any confirmed hardware failure during the 60-month period, Fortinet dispatches a replacement unit by the next calendar day — including weekends and holidays. Coverage includes:

• Next-calendar-day dispatch on all days of the week following TAC confirmation of a hardware failure
• Five years of continuous coverage across any number of qualifying hardware events during the term
• Requires active FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same FortiSwitch-124F-FPOE serial number
• Electronic entitlement registered to the device serial number; delivered worldwide within 0–1 business days

Who Buys the 5-Year Term

The 5-year term targets organizations with a clear long-horizon for the FortiSwitch-124F-FPOE deployment and a preference for minimal procurement cycles. Data center and campus network teams that plan hardware refreshes on 5-year schedules — often tied to depreciation schedules — find that buying 5-year support contracts at deployment time aligns cleanly with budget cycles. It also eliminates the operational risk of a coverage lapse: with a 5-year contract in place, there is no annual renewal to track, no grace period to manage, and no chance the switch sits unprotected by Priority RMA because a renewal fell through the cracks.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-S124F-210-02-60 is an electronic entitlement. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key by email within 0–1 business days. Register in the Fortinet Support Portal under the device’s serial number. Coverage runs 60 months from the registered start date. For hardware failures during this period, open a TAC case — Fortinet dispatches a replacement FortiSwitch-124F-FPOE under the next-calendar-day SLA without requiring any additional contract action on your part.

Shorter-Term Alternatives

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA is also sold as FC-10-S124F-210-02-12 (1 year) and FC-10-S124F-210-02-36 (3 years). If procurement rules require annual contract cycles or the deployment timeline is uncertain, the 1-year or 3-year term may be a better fit. The underlying service is identical across all three terms.
