Product description

When your FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE powers 24 PoE+ ports across an access layer, a hardware failure doesn’t just take down one switch — it takes down IP cameras, phones, wireless APs, and other PoE-powered devices all at once. The FC-10-S424F-212-02-60 addresses that scenario directly: a 5-year contract that dispatches a technician to your location within 4 hours, replacement switch in hand.

What the 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer RMA Covers

The -212- service tier dispatches a Fortinet-certified technician to your site within 4 hours of a confirmed hardware failure. The technician arrives with a replacement FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE, performs the unit swap, and verifies connectivity before leaving. No return shipping logistics on your end, no waiting for parts, no DIY swap under time pressure. This contract is an add-on that requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription on the device.

Who Needs This Service

This contract is suited for environments where a 24-port PoE+ access switch outage has an immediate operational impact:

  • Dense access-layer deployments where reconnecting PoE devices manually after a self-service swap is time-consuming
  • Healthcare facilities, hospitality networks, or retail floors where device uptime is tied to service delivery
  • Sites with limited local IT staff who cannot perform urgent hardware replacements themselves
  • Organizations that have committed to sub-4-hour recovery SLAs for network infrastructure

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-S424F-212-02-60 is a software contract, delivered electronically. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation key within 0–1 business days. Activate it against the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE serial number through the FortiCare portal. No physical shipment required; the contract is valid worldwide from the activation date.

Choosing Between RMA Service Tiers

FortiSwitch RMA services come in four tiers:

  • -210- Next Calendar Day Delivery: Replacement ships next calendar day; self-install
  • -211- 4-Hour Hardware Delivery: Replacement hardware on-site within 4 hours; self-install
  • -212- 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer: Technician on-site within 4 hours with replacement hardware — this is that tier
  • -301- Secure RMA: Replacement ships; failed unit retained for on-site destruction

The -212- tier provides the fastest combined hardware-and-labor response. If on-site support is not a requirement, the -210- Next Calendar Day option costs less. If compliance requires hardware retention, the -301- Secure RMA is the right path instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer RMA service provide?

A Fortinet-certified technician arrives at your site within 4 hours of a failure declaration with a replacement FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE and performs the hardware swap and verification on-site.

Does FC-10-S424F-212-02-60 require FortiCare Premium?

Yes. The -212- Priority RMA add-on requires FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite to be active on the FortiSwitch 424E-FPOE. It cannot be added to FortiCare Essential.

How is this contract delivered?

Electronically. DataCenter360.ca sends the license key to your email after order confirmation. You activate it against your device serial number in the FortiCare portal.

Am I covered if the switch fails in year 4 of the contract?

Yes. The 5-year term runs from the activation date. Hardware failures in any year of the contract, including years 4 and 5, are covered under the same 4-hour dispatch terms.

How does this compare to the Next Calendar Day (-210-) RMA option?

The -210- service ships replacement hardware next calendar day for self-installation. The -212- sends a technician to your location within 4 hours and handles the swap. If on-site support matters, the -212- is the right tier.
