Authorized Partner for United States (US)Running 48 ports of campus-switching infrastructure without a spare unit is a calculated risk. The FC-10-S448N-210-02-12 manages that risk by adding Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA to the FortiSwitch 448E for one year. If hardware fails, Fortinet ships a replacement unit and gets it to your location by end of the next calendar day. This is not standard back-to-base RMA: the courier delivers before Fortinet receives the defective unit, so your team has hardware in hand within one calendar day of the case being confirmed.
The Next Calendar Day Priority RMA add-on guarantees that when a FortiSwitch 448E failure is confirmed with Fortinet support, a courier ships a replacement unit for delivery by end of the following calendar day. Coverage applies seven days a week, including weekends and public holidays, so a Friday evening failure does not push resolution to Monday. This contract supplements FortiCare Premium or Elite; it cannot be added to FortiCare Essential.
Access-layer switches with 48 ports serve a lot of endpoints. A failure at the distribution or access edge can affect entire VLANs or floors. Next Calendar Day delivery suits organizations with enough technical staff to handle physical installation but where waiting several business days for standard RMA is unacceptable. It is a cost-effective middle ground between standard RMA and the faster four-hour courier options.
FC-10-S448N-210-02-12 is an electronic service contract delivered within 0–1 business days of purchase. Activation is completed through the Fortinet Support Portal by registering the contract against the FortiSwitch 448E serial number. The contract takes effect immediately on registration and runs for 12 months from that date.

When Fortinet confirms a hardware failure on your FS-448E, they ship a replacement unit via courier for delivery by end of the next calendar day. This applies on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. The replacement unit ships before Fortinet receives the defective one, so your team has hardware in hand without delay.
Yes. FC-10-S448N-210-02-12 is an add-on to FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite. FortiCare Essential customers are not eligible for Priority RMA. If your FortiSwitch 448E only has Essential coverage, you will need to upgrade to Premium first.
Yes. Priority RMA delivery covers all seven days of the week, including public holidays, subject to country-level availability. Fortinet’s courier network operates outside standard business hours to meet next-calendar-day commitments. Verify availability for your country on Fortinet’s service availability page.
Log in to the Fortinet Support Portal, open a support case, and identify the failure as a hardware fault. Fortinet’s team will diagnose the issue and, if hardware replacement is confirmed, trigger the Priority RMA dispatch. Having the switch serial number and contract number on hand speeds up case handling.
The Next Calendar Day option is a separate contract from the 4-hour delivery options. To move to a faster tier you would need to let the current contract expire or explore amendment options with Fortinet. If your environment demands sub-four-hour hardware replacement from the start, consider FC-10-S448N-211-02-12 instead. DataCenter360.ca stocks all Priority RMA tiers for the FortiSwitch 448E.
