Fortinet FortiSwitch 148F 4-Hour On-Site Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-148FN-212-02-60)

Five years is a long time to commit to a switch deployment, and FC-10-148FN-212-02-60 matches that commitment with 5 years of 4-Hour On-Site Priority RMA for the FortiSwitch-148F. Through the entire coverage period, a hardware failure triggers both a replacement unit and an on-site engineer within 4 hours — no re-purchasing annual RMA upgrades, no coverage gaps.

What This Contract Covers

FC-10-148FN-212-02-60 is a 5-Year 4-Hour On-Site Priority RMA add-on for the FortiSwitch-148F. It requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same device. Coverage includes:

• A replacement FortiSwitch-148F and a Fortinet-authorized engineer dispatched on-site within 4 hours of case confirmation
• The engineer handles physical installation of the replacement unit
• Coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays
• 5-Year of coverage from the contract start date

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

4-Hour On-Site Priority RMA add-on options are only available with FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device. The table below shows how the base support tiers compare on RMA handling, to confirm your coverage fits this contract.

Who Needs 4-Hour On-Site RMA for the FortiSwitch-148F

The On-Site tier is for sites where replacement hardware arriving alone isn’t enough — the environment requires a technician present to complete the swap correctly and get the switch back in service. Typical scenarios:

• Remote branch offices or edge sites without dedicated on-site IT staff
• High-density campus floors where misconfigured replacement hardware would cause broader issues
• Organizations where local personnel are not trained or authorized to perform switch replacements
• Contractual or compliance requirements that mandate certified engineer involvement during hardware changes

This is Fortinet’s most comprehensive physical RMA option for the FortiSwitch-148F — if the 4-hour SLA or the on-site engineer requirement can be relaxed, 4-Hour Hardware (FC-10-148FN-211-02-60) or Next Calendar Day (FC-10-148FN-210-02-60) options are available at lower cost.
