United States (US) Authorized DistributorFor FortiSwitch 424E-POE deployments in regulated environments, service contracts need to cover the full operating life of the hardware. FC-10-S424P-301-02-60 provides 5-year Secure RMA: throughout the 5-year period, any confirmed hardware failure results in a Fortinet replacement shipment while the failed switch remains in your custody for compliant disposal — no unit is returned to the vendor.
Secure RMA (-301-) modifies one key element of the standard RMA process: the return obligation. When the FortiSwitch 424E-POE fails and Fortinet TAC confirms the hardware issue, a replacement unit ships. Under Secure RMA, the failed device stays on-premises for your organization’s documented decommissioning process, whether that means secure destruction, regulatory retention, or data-wiping before disposal. The 5-year contract provides that entitlement from registration through year five. FortiCare Premium or Elite must be active on the device.
Organizations that deploy switching infrastructure on 5-year capital cycles benefit from matching service terms. A 5-year Secure RMA contract avoids mid-lifecycle renewal decisions, keeps compliance-grade RMA coverage aligned with the hardware’s planned life, and typically costs less per year than shorter terms purchased separately. For regulated environments managing FortiSwitch 424E-POE units across multiple budget cycles, the 5-year term simplifies procurement and ensures continuous coverage.
FC-10-S424P-301-02-60 is an electronic license. DataCenter360.ca delivers the contract key worldwide within 0-1 business days. Register it against the FortiSwitch 424E-POE serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal. The 5-year term begins on the registration date. No hardware ships at the time of purchase — dispatch occurs only when Fortinet TAC confirms an active failure.
FC-10-S424P-301-02-12 (1-year) and FC-10-S424P-301-02-36 (3-year) provide the same Secure RMA entitlement at shorter terms. The 5-year option is appropriate when the FortiSwitch 424E-POE is expected to remain in service for at least four years and renewal administrative overhead is a concern. For environments where compliance certification or hardware custody documentation spans multiple years, aligning the service contract to the full lifecycle is standard practice.
Secure RMA requires FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table below shows how RMA capabilities compare across the three FortiCare tiers available for the FortiSwitch 424E-POE.
