Product description

Four-hour hardware replacement on the FortiSwitch 448E, for three years without renewal overhead: that is what FC-10-S448N-211-02-36 delivers. Campus networks running FS-448E units as access-layer switches often stay in place for the full 3-year planning cycle. This contract ensures Priority RMA coverage matches that lifespan, with a courier-delivered replacement unit arriving within four hours of failure confirmation throughout the entire term.

What This Service Covers

This 3-year 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA contract commits Fortinet to dispatching a replacement FortiSwitch 448E via courier within four hours of confirmed failure. Coverage applies year-round, including weekends and holidays. The contract runs for 36 months from the activation date with no annual renewal required. It supplements FortiCare Premium or Elite; Essential is not eligible.

Who Benefits from the 3-Year Term with 4-Hour Delivery

Organizations that need rapid hardware replacement but prefer locking in multi-year support to avoid annual procurement cycles. The 3-year term matches standard IT refresh schedules: buy the switch, buy the support, and focus on operations rather than contract renewals. Finance teams appreciate predictable multi-year support costs. Operations teams value the guarantee that four-hour hardware delivery is locked in for the planning period.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-S448N-211-02-36 is delivered electronically within 0–1 business days of order. Activate through the Fortinet Support Portal by associating the contract with the FortiSwitch 448E serial number. The 3-year term begins on activation. No staggered start dates or annual check-ins are required during the coverage window.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

Through DataCenter360.ca, the 3-year 4-Hour Hardware Priority RMA for the FortiSwitch 448E is available with electronic delivery, typically processed the same business day. If you are deploying multiple FS-448E units, we can handle multi-unit orders and help you align FortiCare Premium contracts to the same 3-year window. Contact us for volume pricing or to bundle support contracts in a single transaction.

What does the 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA cover over 3 years?

For 36 months from activation, if Fortinet confirms a hardware fault on your FortiSwitch 448E, they dispatch a replacement unit via courier with a 4-hour delivery target. Coverage applies every day of the year. The replacement ships before Fortinet receives the faulty unit back.

Does a 3-year contract require annual renewal?

No. The FC-10-S448N-211-02-36 is a single 36-month contract. Once activated, it runs continuously without annual renewal actions. Register it once and coverage is active for the full term.

Is an on-site engineer included in this contract?

No. The 4-hour hardware delivery option sends a courier with the replacement unit; physical installation is your team’s responsibility. If on-site engineer assistance is required, the 212 variant provides both delivery and an engineer. DataCenter360.ca stocks the 212 option in multiple terms.

What FortiCare tier is required for this add-on?

FortiCare Premium or Elite. Priority RMA is not available to FortiCare Essential customers. Both the base FortiCare contract and this Priority RMA add-on should cover the same device for the same or overlapping term. DataCenter360.ca can help you match contract durations on a single order.

Can I purchase this for multiple FortiSwitch 448E switches?

Yes. Each contract applies to one serial number. Multiple switches require one contract each. DataCenter360.ca handles bulk electronic delivery and can process multi-unit orders. Contact us with the number of units and serial numbers to coordinate a batch purchase.
