Product description

Five years is a full operational lifecycle for PoE aggregation hardware. FC-10-W0501-212-02-60 covers the FS-548D-FPOE continuously across that entire span with 4-hour hardware replacement and an on-site engineer, so every failure has the same fast, expert-led response.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-W0501-212-02-60 provides 5 year of 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA for the FortiSwitch 548D-FPOE (FS-548D-FPOE). When a hardware failure is confirmed, Fortinet delivers a replacement unit and dispatches a certified on-site engineer to your facility, both within a 4-hour window. The engineer installs and validates the replacement before closing the case. This is the highest-touch hardware support option available for the 548D-FPOE platform.

Who Needs This Service

The FS-548D-FPOE is a 48-port full-PoE switch often deployed as a wiring closet aggregation point powering IP cameras, VoIP phones, access control readers, and wireless APs simultaneously. Organizations without a dedicated spare unit or on-site network staff cannot absorb a multi-hour outage waiting for parts or third-party technicians. Healthcare facilities, financial branches, and enterprise campuses with strict uptime SLAs are the primary buyers of the 4-hour on-site RMA tier.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic license, delivered within 0-1 business days of purchase. Register the license key against the FS-548D-FPOE serial number in the Fortinet Support portal. The service requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription on the same unit as a prerequisite. It is a Priority RMA add-on, not a base support plan.

What exactly does the 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer service provide?

This service guarantees Fortinet will deliver a replacement FortiSwitch 548D-FPOE unit AND dispatch a certified on-site engineer to your location within 4 hours of a validated hardware failure. The engineer handles physical installation and confirms the replacement is operational before leaving. It is the most comprehensive hardware-level RMA option Fortinet offers for FortiSwitch platforms.

Does this Priority RMA work as a standalone support plan?

No. The 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA is an add-on that requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription on the same FS-548D-FPOE unit. It cannot activate without that prerequisite. If you do not have FortiCare Premium yet, pair it with this SKU at purchase.

How do I open a Priority RMA case when the switch fails?

Log a case through the Fortinet Support portal (support.fortinet.com) or contact Fortinet TAC by phone. Provide the FS-548D-FPOE serial number, describe the hardware fault, and reference your active FortiCare contract. Once the failure is validated, Fortinet initiates the 4-hour hardware dispatch and on-site engineer scheduling simultaneously.

Is on-site engineer dispatch available across Canada?

On-site coverage depends on Fortinet’s logistics and partner network at your specific location. Urban and suburban areas are typically within the 4-hour travel window. Remote or rural sites may see longer lead times. Confirm coverage for your location with Fortinet TAC or your account team before purchasing.

Can I add this service to an existing FortiCare contract mid-term?

Yes. You can attach the 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA to an active FortiCare Premium or Elite plan at any time. Aligning the end dates of both subscriptions avoids a coverage gap. DataCenter360.ca can assist with term matching at the time of purchase so both licenses expire together.
