Authorized Partner for United States (US)Most IT planning cycles run on 3-year horizons, and hardware support should match. The FC-10-S448N-210-02-36 locks in Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA on the FortiSwitch 448E for a full 36 months. One purchase, no annual renewals, no risk of a coverage gap at the 12-month mark. If hardware fails at any point during those three years, Fortinet couriers a replacement unit for arrival by end of the next calendar day.
This 3-year contract extends Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA coverage on the FortiSwitch 448E. When a hardware failure is confirmed through a Fortinet support case, a replacement unit is shipped for delivery by end of the following calendar day. Weekend and holiday delivery is included, so the next-calendar-day commitment holds regardless of when the failure occurs. This add-on supplements FortiCare Premium or Elite; Essential customers are not eligible.
Organizations that plan IT support on multi-year contracts find the 3-year term more practical than renewing annually. It removes one more renewal task from the support calendar and guarantees consistent coverage across a standard hardware lifecycle window. Access-layer switches like the FS-448E typically stay in service for three or more years, making this term a natural fit for campus switching deployments.
FC-10-S448N-210-02-36 is an electronic contract delivered within 0–1 business days of order. Activation is done through the Fortinet Support Portal, linked to the specific FortiSwitch 448E serial number. The 3-year term starts on the activation date and runs continuously; no annual renewal is required during the coverage window.
