Fortinet FortiSwitch 224E 4-Hour Hardware RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-W0300-211-02-12)

The FS-224E handles 24 access-layer connections plus four 10GE uplinks. When the switch itself fails, everything connected to it goes dark. The 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA for the FortiSwitch 224E (FC-10-W0300-211-02-12) puts a replacement unit in transit within four hours of Fortinet approving the case. No waiting days for standard warranty logistics — this contract is built for environments where network downtime has a real cost.

What 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA Covers

This 1-year contract applies to the FortiSwitch 224E (hardware model FS-224E). Once a hardware fault is confirmed and Fortinet approves the RMA case, a replacement unit ships within four hours. You handle installation; the on-site labor is your team’s responsibility. This service requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription on the same device.

Where it fits in the FortiCare tier stack:

Who Needs This

4-hour hardware delivery suits distribution closets and access layers where one failed switch creates a significant connectivity gap. Typical buyers include IT teams managing campus floors, medium-sized office environments, or manufacturing floors where multiple workstations depend on a single switch. If your organization can absorb a same-day outage but not a multi-day wait, this tier is the right fit. Organizations with stricter SLAs or limited on-site staff should also look at the 4-Hour On-Site option (FC-10-W0300-212-02-12).

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic-delivery license. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca sends the contract details to your registered Fortinet account or support portal. Activation links the RMA entitlement directly to your FS-224E serial number. No hardware ships at purchase — the contract simply ensures rapid hardware dispatch if and when a failure occurs during the covered term.

Priority RMA vs FortiCare Bundles

FortiCare Premium already gives you advanced replacement via standard RMA. Adding this Priority RMA contract upgrades the hardware exchange to 4-hour delivery. If you’re evaluating whether to add Priority RMA alongside FortiCare Premium, the decision is straightforward: if four hours matters to your business, add this. If next-business-day is acceptable, standard FortiCare Premium handles it. The 1-year term here lets you match the coverage cycle to your existing FortiCare term without over-committing.
