Fortinet FortiSwitch-248D Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-W248D-210-02-60)

For infrastructure planned to stay in service for five or more years, a matching long-term RMA contract removes the annual renewal step and locks in coverage through the device’s full lifecycle. The 5-Year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA (FC-10-W248D-210-02-60) provides Fortinet’s advance-replacement commitment for the full term: if your FortiSwitch-248D fails at any point in those five years, a replacement ships and arrives by the next calendar day.

What This Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA Covers

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:

Who Needs This Coverage

The five-year term suits organizations with stable infrastructure and long capex cycles — institutions, government agencies, and enterprises that purchase equipment once and plan to operate it until the end of supported life. It also works well for managed service providers who need consistent SLAs across a fleet of FortiSwitch-248D units at multiple client sites.
