Authorized Partner for United States (US)Planning a three-year refresh cycle? Locking in RMA coverage for the same period means your FortiSwitch-248D is covered through the same window as its expected service life. The 3-Year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA (FC-10-W248D-210-02-36) keeps Fortinet’s advanced-replacement commitment active for the full term: one confirmed failure triggers a shipment, and your replacement arrives by the next calendar day.
When Fortinet confirms a hardware failure on your FortiSwitch-248D, they immediately dispatch a replacement unit from the nearest depot. Under the Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, that unit is targeted for delivery to your registered site by the end of the following calendar day. This is Fortinet’s “advanced replacement” model — the replacement ships before you return the failed device, so there is no waiting for your unit to be received and processed first.
Key points: replacement ships same day as failure confirmation; arrival targeted for next calendar day; applies 24/7 based on carrier availability; return of the failed unit required within the specified window after receiving the replacement.
This Priority RMA add-on requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription on the same device. The table below shows how RMA coverage compares across FortiCare tiers:
| Essential | Premium | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
The three-year term works well for teams that prefer multi-year support alignment rather than annual renewals, and for budget planning cycles that fund infrastructure for fixed periods. It suits branch locations and wiring closets where overnight replacement is an acceptable recovery window, and where IT staff are available to swap hardware the following day.
FC-10-W248D-210-02-36 is delivered electronically by DataCenter360.ca. After purchase, you receive your contract documentation by email — typically within 0–1 business days. Activate it on the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) by linking it to the existing FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription on the same FortiSwitch-248D serial number. No hardware ships; coverage starts upon registration.
To initiate a future RMA claim: open a case through the Fortinet Support Portal, reference your contract and device serial number, describe the failure, and Fortinet’s team will validate the hardware issue and dispatch the replacement per this contract’s SLA.
DataCenter360.ca supplies Fortinet service contracts as an authorized Select Partner. This 3-year RMA add-on is delivered electronically — expect your license documentation within 0–1 business days. Register it on the Fortinet Support Portal under your existing FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription for the same device, and your coverage starts immediately.
The Priority RMA add-on requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device for each year of coverage. It’s best practice to match the RMA term to your FortiCare term, but you can renew each component separately as long as the FortiCare stays active.
Advanced replacement means Fortinet ships the new unit before you return the failed one. You receive the replacement FortiSwitch-248D, swap it in, then ship the failed unit back using Fortinet’s return instructions. This eliminates the gap between failure and recovery.
Open a support ticket at support.fortinet.com, describe the failure, and reference your contract. Fortinet’s support team validates the issue, logs the RMA, and dispatches the replacement. Having your contract number ready speeds up the process.
Fortinet targets next calendar day delivery, including weekends, based on carrier availability. Delivery to remote or rural addresses may require additional transit time. Confirm regional details with Fortinet support when activating your contract.
Fortinet service contracts are tied to the device’s serial number. If ownership of the FortiSwitch-248D changes, the contract transfer process must go through Fortinet’s support portal. Contact DataCenter360.ca or Fortinet directly for transfer procedures.
