Authorized Partner for United States (US)Three-year procurement cycles are common in campus network infrastructure — and for organizations that deploy the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE in regulated environments, aligning the Secure RMA contract to that cycle reduces administrative overhead. FC-10-S424F-301-02-36 covers the switch for three years without annual renewal: one contract activation, hardware retention compliance built in from the start.
The -301- Secure RMA service provides hardware replacement without the requirement to return the failed unit. When a FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE fails under this contract, Fortinet ships a replacement; the defective hardware stays with you for destruction according to your internal data-handling and compliance procedures. The 3-year term spans the full contract period — a failure in month 30 carries the same coverage as one in month 1. FortiCare Premium or Elite must be active on the device throughout.
The 3-year term works well for organizations that refresh infrastructure on a defined cycle and want coverage to match:
FC-10-S424F-301-02-36 is delivered electronically within 0–1 business days of purchase. Activate it against the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE serial number via the FortiCare portal. The contract runs for 3 years from the activation date. Valid worldwide; no physical delivery required.
For the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE, the RMA add-on service tiers cover a range of scenarios:
The -301- Secure RMA tier is not about speed. It’s about hardware custody. If return shipping of the failed unit is acceptable, the -210- or -212- tiers cover the response-time requirements at a lower price point. Secure RMA is the right choice only when hardware retention is a compliance requirement.
Priority RMA add-on services require FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table below shows what each base FortiCare tier includes for hardware support and which tiers are eligible for this add-on.
| Support Level | 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 | — | ✓ | ✓ |

A 3-year Secure RMA service contract for the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE, providing hardware replacement with retention of the failed unit for on-site destruction — no return shipping required.
The -210- and -212- services focus on delivery speed and on-site support, but both require returning the failed unit. The -301- Secure RMA keeps the failed hardware on your premises — the key difference for regulated environments.
No. The 3-year contract runs continuously and does not auto-renew. You’ll need to purchase a new contract before expiry to maintain coverage.
Yes, as long as FortiCare Premium or Elite is active on the device at the time of activation.
Multi-year contracts typically carry a lower per-year cost than equivalent annual renewals stacked consecutively. Check the pricing at datacenter360.ca for the current comparison.
