Authorized Partner for United States (US)Three-year coverage simplifies procurement and auditing for teams that plan support contracts alongside hardware refresh cycles. FC-10-W0226-301-02-36 locks in Secure RMA protection for the FortiSwitch FS-224D-FPOE for three full years, ensuring any unit returned to Fortinet during that period goes through documented data destruction without requiring an annual renewal reminder.
The 3-Year contract (SKU FC-10-W0226-301-02-36) is a Priority RMA add-on for the FortiSwitch FS-224D-FPOE. When hardware fails and Fortinet TAC confirms the fault, the replacement process kicks in according to the contract’s response tier. This service, Secure RMA, covers the FS-224D-FPOE for 3-year with:
As a service-only SKU, this contract layers on top of FortiCare Premium or Elite. It does not replace the base support contract.
Priority RMA contracts make the most sense for FortiSwitch deployments where switch downtime has a measurable business impact. That includes access-layer switches in schools, hospitals, or office environments where a 24-port failure takes out a significant user segment, and for organizations in regulated industries that need documented hardware-handling procedures alongside standard support.
If your FS-224D-FPOE is deployed behind redundant stacking or a fabric with automatic failover, the urgency is lower. If it is a standalone switch without redundancy, 3-year of Priority RMA coverage is worth the cost for the insurance value alone.
This service is an electronic license. Once DataCenter360.ca processes your order, Fortinet issues the entitlement against your device serial number. Activation happens through the Fortinet support portal with no physical media to receive and no installation required. The contract is typically visible in your FortiCare account within one business day of purchase.
Priority RMA is only available to FortiSwitch units on FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table below shows what each FortiCare tier covers for hardware RMA and support response:

| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
