Fortinet FortiSwitch-448E-POE FortiCare Premium, 3-Year (FC-10-S448P-247-02-36)

Three years of 24×7 Fortinet TAC coverage for the FortiSwitch-448E-POE: 1-hour critical-issue response, advanced hardware replacement shipped to your door before the failed unit is returned, and continuous access to firmware updates and the Fortinet support portal. If your campus deployment runs PoE-connected endpoints that cannot afford a missed SLA window, this contract covers the gap.

What FortiCare Premium Covers

FortiCare Premium on the FS-448E-POE delivers telephone TAC around the clock, a committed 1-hour response on Severity 1 tickets, and next-business-day advance replacement when the switch fails. Throughout the 3-year term, firmware updates, online support tools, and the Fortinet asset management portal remain accessible. Premium also qualifies the device for the Priority (Improved) RMA add-on for even tighter depot commitments if your environment demands them.

Which FortiCare Tier Is Right for Your Switch?

This product is FortiCare Premium. The table below shows how it compares to Essential and Elite.

Who This Contract Is For

The 3-year term suits organizations with stable budget cycles that want predictable support costs over a longer period. Campus IT teams running FortiLink-managed stacks where the FS-448E-POE feeds PoE phones, access points, or surveillance cameras typically reach for a multi-year contract when the switch is a permanent fixture in the rack. One renewal every three years instead of every twelve months also reduces procurement overhead.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

After purchase, you receive an entitlement certificate by email within 0-1 business days. Register the contract against your FS-448E-POE serial number at support.fortinet.com. The coverage window opens on the activation date and is tracked in the Fortinet asset portal. No physical shipment is required.
