Fortinet FortiSwitch 424E-POE Next Calendar Day Priority RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-S424P-210-02-60)

A five-year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA contract covers a FortiSwitch 424E-POE from deployment through most of its useful life. FC-10-S424P-210-02-60 eliminates annual renewal decisions: one purchase, five years of next-day hardware replacement coverage. If the switch fails at any point in that window, Fortinet ships a replacement unit the next calendar day after confirming the fault.

What the Service Includes

FC-10-S424P-210-02-60 is a Next Calendar Day Priority RMA add-on for FortiCare Premium or Elite. On a confirmed hardware failure, Fortinet dispatches a replacement FortiSwitch 424E-POE for next calendar day delivery. The 5-year term makes this the longest available coverage period at this RMA tier, chosen by organizations that want stable service commitments aligned with their hardware refresh planning.

Who Chooses the 5-Year Term

Procurement teams with multi-year IT budgets, managed service providers supporting customer sites, and enterprise IT departments that prefer to lock in service costs at a fixed rate for a hardware lifecycle often choose the 5-year option. The per-year cost is lower than stacking five 1-year contracts, and the administrative overhead of annual renewals is eliminated.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic service entitlement with worldwide availability. After purchase from DataCenter360.ca, register the contract in the Fortinet Support Portal using your FortiSwitch 424E-POE serial number. The 5-year term begins on the registration date. No hardware ships at purchase time — the replacement unit is dispatched only when a failure is confirmed.

How It Compares to Other Priority RMA Tiers

If overnight replacement is your baseline requirement, Next Calendar Day covers it. Organizations needing faster recovery — a 4-hour hardware delivery window — should consider FC-10-S424P-211-02-60 (4-Hour Hardware Delivery, 5-Year). For on-site engineer support alongside 4-hour hardware swap, FC-10-S424P-212-02-60 is the highest tier. DataCenter360.ca stocks all tiers at all term lengths so you can right-size the coverage to each location’s criticality.
