Product description

Annual support budgets demand flexibility, and FC-10-W0226-284-02-12 is built for exactly that. This 1-Year FortiCare Elite contract keeps your FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE covered for a single fiscal year, giving you 24×7 TAC access, hardware replacement coverage, and software update rights without committing beyond your current planning horizon. It suits IT teams that review contracts annually, recently deployed the FS-224D-FPOE, or are aligning support expiry dates across a mixed switch fleet.

What it covers

FortiCare Elite (service code 284) is Fortinet’s premium hardware support tier. This 1-year contract for the FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE includes 24×7 access to Fortinet’s Technical Assistance Center, next-business-day or better advance RMA hardware replacement, and full rights to FortiSwitchOS firmware updates and security patches released during the contract term. Coverage begins on the contract start date and runs for 12 months. It does not include FortiGuard security subscriptions such as threat intelligence or URL filtering, which are separate licensed services.

Who needs it

The FS-224D-FPOE is a 24-port GE access switch with four SFP uplinks and a 370W full-PoE budget, sized for classrooms, open-plan offices, or any floor where IP cameras, VoIP handsets, and wireless APs all share the same wiring closet. Organizations running this switch in production environments where unplanned downtime carries real business cost need FortiCare Elite. The 1-year term fits teams managing annual procurement cycles, a switch acquired mid-year that needs coverage through a fiscal year-end, or a pilot deployment being evaluated before a multi-year commitment.

Activation & delivery

FC-10-W0226-284-02-12 is an electronic license. After purchase, Fortinet delivers the contract registration code by email. You activate it in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the serial number of your registered FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE unit. No physical shipment occurs. Because the contract is delivered electronically, DataCenter360.ca fulfills orders worldwide. Activation takes effect on the date entered at registration, so you control when the 12-month clock starts.

One service vs the bundle

FortiCare Elite (code 284) is a support and hardware warranty extension, not a security subscription. It covers your TAC relationship, RMA logistics, and the right to download current FortiSwitchOS builds. It does not add FortiGuard threat feeds, web filtering, or any other security subscription feature to the switch. Buying support separately from security subscriptions means you can renew each component on the schedule that fits your budget without being locked into a bundled pricing structure. If your FS-224D-FPOE is managed through FortiManager or FortiGate Security Fabric, those integrations continue to work normally under this contract.

Frequently asked questions

Does FC-10-W0226-284-02-12 cover only the FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE?
Yes. This contract is specific to the FortiSwitch 224D-FPOE (model code FS-224D-FPOE). You register it against that unit’s serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal. It does not apply to other FortiSwitch models or variants.
What is the difference between FortiCare Elite and FortiCare Premium for this switch?
FortiCare Elite provides next-business-day or better advance RMA replacement and 24×7 TAC access. FortiCare Premium offers a lower RMA service level. Elite is the appropriate choice when a downed switch affects a business-critical floor or building segment.
Can I extend coverage after the 1-year term expires?
You can purchase a new FortiCare Elite contract at renewal. Fortinet support contracts stack consecutively, so purchasing the 3-year (FC-10-W0226-284-02-36) or 5-year (FC-10-W0226-284-02-60) contract before expiry avoids any coverage gap.
Is RMA replacement available outside North America?
FortiCare Elite RMA coverage is subject to Fortinet’s regional parts availability. Confirm your country’s service eligibility with Fortinet support at registration, particularly for locations outside North America and Western Europe.
Does this contract include access to new FortiSwitchOS firmware versions?
Yes. An active FortiCare contract grants download rights to all FortiSwitchOS firmware released during the coverage period, including feature releases and security patches for the FS-224D-FPOE.
