Authorized Partner for United States (US)Long-lifecycle switch deployments generate specific compliance challenges around hardware end-of-life. FC-10-W0226-301-02-60 addresses that from day one: a single 5-year Secure RMA contract keeps the FortiSwitch FS-224D-FPOE covered throughout its full operational window, so any failed unit returned to Fortinet gets certified data destruction without requiring a separate RMA contract at the time of failure.
The 5-Year contract (SKU FC-10-W0226-301-02-60) 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 5-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, 5-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 |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |

Electronic delivery within one business day of your order.
Yes, 60-month (5-year) is the maximum single-term contract for FortiSwitch Secure RMA. If you need coverage beyond that, you will purchase a renewal when this contract expires.
No. Secure RMA contracts are tied to a specific device serial number. If you replace the FS-224D-FPOE with a different unit, you will need a new contract for the new hardware. The remaining term on the old contract is not transferable.
Open a case with Fortinet TAC, confirm the failure, and request Secure RMA. Fortinet ships a replacement under your base FortiCare contract, and you return the failed unit to Fortinet’s secure processing facility. After destruction, you receive a certificate.
No. Secure RMA focuses on how the failed unit is handled after return, not how quickly a replacement arrives. For faster replacement, add a Priority RMA contract (-210-, -211-, or -212-) on top of your base FortiCare.
Yes. They serve different purposes. Priority RMA speeds up delivery of the replacement unit, while Secure RMA governs the disposal of the returned unit. Both can be active at the same time on the same FS-224D-FPOE.
