Product description

A FortiSwitch 424E-POE powering IP cameras, access control terminals, or wireless throughout a building can take an entire floor offline when it fails. For those environments, FC-10-S424P-212-02-36 provides 3-year 4-Hour Hardware and On-Site Engineer Priority RMA coverage: Fortinet dispatches replacement hardware and a certified technician within 4 hours of confirming a failure, across a 3-year contract that matches mid-cycle IT refresh timelines.

What This Contract Covers

This is a Priority RMA add-on to FortiCare Premium or Elite. On a confirmed FortiSwitch 424E-POE hardware failure, Fortinet dispatches both a replacement switch and a certified on-site engineer within 4 hours. The engineer handles the hardware replacement on-site. The 3-year contract applies that response commitment for three years from the registration date. This is the highest-response RMA tier in the FortiSwitch 424E-POE service portfolio.

Who Buys the 3-Year Term

The 3-year option is common for organizations that align hardware service contracts with capital planning cycles. Three years provides enough coverage to avoid renewal gaps in the middle of an asset’s life, with the option to reassess service requirements before year five. It is also cost-effective compared to renewing a 1-year contract three times, and locks in the 4-hour on-site response SLA at a known cost for the contract period.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-S424P-212-02-36 is an electronic license, delivered worldwide by DataCenter360.ca within 0-1 business days. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal against the FortiSwitch 424E-POE serial number. Coverage begins on the registration date and runs for 3 years. No hardware or personnel dispatch occurs at purchase — the service activates only when a hardware failure is confirmed by Fortinet TAC.

Comparing On-Site vs. Hardware-Only at 3 Years

FC-10-S424P-211-02-36 is the 3-year 4-Hour Hardware Delivery option without the engineer: replacement hardware dispatches within 4 hours, self-install. FC-10-S424P-212-02-36 adds the on-site engineer to that SLA. If your IT team can handle installation, -211- is appropriate; if you need a certified technician on-site, -212- is the right contract.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “4-Hour” mean in this contract?

It is the dispatch SLA: after Fortinet TAC confirms a hardware failure, both the replacement FortiSwitch 424E-POE and the on-site engineer are dispatched within 4 hours. It is not a guarantee that either arrives within 4 hours — actual travel times depend on depot and engineer proximity.

Does this contract require FortiCare Premium?

Yes. FC-10-S424P-212-02-36 is a Priority RMA add-on and requires FortiCare Premium or Elite on the FortiSwitch 424E-POE. FortiCare Essential does not include Priority RMA eligibility.

What happens when the 3-year term expires?

Coverage lapses at the end of the 3-year term. You can renew with a new contract before expiry. DataCenter360.ca carries 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year options for the FortiSwitch 424E-POE 4-Hour Hardware and On-Site RMA.

Can I upgrade from the -211- Hardware Delivery tier to this -212- On-Site tier?

Contact Fortinet or DataCenter360.ca to discuss upgrade paths. Generally, adding on-site coverage requires purchasing the -212- contract for the device. The -211- and -212- contracts are separate SKUs.

Is on-site engineer service available in all locations?

Availability of on-site engineer services depends on geographic coverage. Confirm on-site service availability for your specific location with Fortinet before purchasing. The license itself is available worldwide from DataCenter360.ca.
