Authorized Partner for United States (US)When a campus switch failure cannot wait until the next day, the FC-10-S448N-211-02-12 is the appropriate response. This 1-year 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA add-on means Fortinet dispatches a replacement FortiSwitch 448E to your location within four hours of confirming the failure. The courier delivers hardware to your door: your team handles the physical installation. For environments where a full day of degraded 48-port connectivity is not acceptable, this contract meaningfully reduces hardware downtime.
The 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA commits Fortinet to dispatching a replacement FortiSwitch 448E via courier within four hours of failure confirmation. The courier delivers to your specified address; physical installation is handled by your technical team. This is the hardware-delivery-only option: no on-site engineer is included. Coverage applies on weekends and holidays, and this add-on requires FortiCare Premium or Elite; Essential is not eligible.
Four-hour hardware delivery suits high-density switching environments where a failed FS-448E creates immediate bottlenecks: server rooms, dense office floors, or any location where 48 endpoints losing connectivity triggers visible service impact. It fits organizations with on-site technical teams capable of hardware installation but where the time sensitivity of parts arrival matters more than having vendor personnel present.
FC-10-S448N-211-02-12 is an electronic contract delivered within 0–1 business days of purchase. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal against the FortiSwitch 448E serial number. The 1-year coverage period starts on the activation date and runs for 12 months.
