Fortinet FortiSwitch-224D-FPOE FortiCare Premium, 5-Year (FC-10-W0226-247-02-60)

Five years of uninterrupted support for the FortiSwitch-224D-FPOE is what FC-10-W0226-247-02-60 delivers. If your network access layer relies on this 24-port PoE switch integrated into a FortiGate Secure Fabric, a long-term FortiCare Premium contract removes the annual renewal overhead and locks in 24×7 coverage for the duration of the deployment.

What FortiCare Premium Covers on the FortiSwitch-224D-FPOE

FortiCare Premium is the mid-tier support contract for Fortinet hardware. For the FS-224D-FPOE, this contract provides around-the-clock telephone access to Fortinet’s TAC team, next-business-day hardware replacement (where available), and full access to firmware updates and the Fortinet support portal. The 224D-FPOE supports 24 PoE ports at up to 370W total budget, so getting a failed unit replaced quickly matters for any deployment that depends on powered endpoints like IP phones, cameras, or wireless APs.

This product covers the Premium tier. The table below compares Essential, Premium, and Elite so you can confirm the right fit.

Who Should Buy a 5-Year Contract

A 5-year term suits deployments where the FS-224D-FPOE is embedded in a stable infrastructure refresh cycle. IT teams that procure equipment on a 5-year depreciation schedule, or who manage networks across multiple sites and need predictable support costs, find the multi-year term easier to budget than annual renewals. It also applies without a gap in coverage if a prior contract is expiring within this billing window.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

FC-10-W0226-247-02-60 is a pure software entitlement. Once your order is confirmed, DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key and registration instructions by email, typically within one business day. You register the contract against the FS-224D-FPOE serial number through the Fortinet Support Portal, and coverage activates from that registration date. No physical shipment required, no import duties, available worldwide.

Comparing Support Terms

If a 5-year commitment is more than you need right now, the same FortiCare Premium coverage is available as a 1-year (FC-10-W0226-247-02-12) or 3-year (FC-10-W0226-247-02-36) contract. Teams on tighter budgets who only require business-hours support and next-day RMA without the 24×7 phone access can consider FortiCare Essential (FC-10-W0226-314-02-12) at a lower price point.
