Authorized Partner for United States (US)The FortiSwitch 448E stays in many racks well past the 3-year mark. The FC-10-S448N-210-02-60 covers that reality with a 5-year Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA contract: one purchase, no renewals, and next-calendar-day hardware replacement available for the full duration of a typical switch lifecycle. For large deployments where managing individual renewal dates across many units creates overhead, the 5-year term consolidates the support calendar considerably.
This 5-year contract provides Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the FortiSwitch 448E. If Fortinet confirms a hardware failure at any point during the 60-month term, a replacement unit is shipped for arrival by end of the next calendar day. Coverage runs seven days a week including holidays throughout the full term. As with all Priority RMA options, this is an add-on to FortiCare Premium or Elite and is not available with FortiCare Essential.
Organizations with large FortiSwitch deployments, strict procurement cycles, or internal policies that prefer long-term vendor contracts. The 5-year term eliminates four annual renewal cycles, reducing administrative overhead and locking in consistent service. Campus switching infrastructure that serves the same environment for five or more years is a natural candidate for this coverage window.
FC-10-S448N-210-02-60 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 5-year term begins on the activation date. For multi-unit deployments, each unit requires its own contract registered individually.

It covers next-calendar-day courier delivery of a replacement FortiSwitch 448E for any confirmed hardware failure during the 60-month term. Delivery applies seven days a week, including weekends and public holidays. This is Advanced Replacement: the swap unit ships before Fortinet collects the faulty device.
Yes. Priority RMA add-ons require an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same device. The base FortiCare level determines eligibility. If your FS-448E only has FortiCare Essential, you will need to upgrade the base support tier before this add-on takes effect.
The coverage is identical, but managing five separate 1-year renewals introduces gap risk and administrative overhead. The 5-year contract starts on activation and runs continuously. For finance teams that prefer predictable multi-year support budgets, the 5-year term is typically simpler to approve and administer.
Each FC-10-S448N-210-02-60 contract applies to a single FortiSwitch 448E serial number. For multi-unit deployments, you purchase one contract per switch. DataCenter360.ca handles bulk electronic delivery and can process multi-unit orders efficiently.
Service contract transfers are handled through the Fortinet Support Portal or via your reseller.
