Product description

Campus PoE switches carry a lot more than data — when an M426E-FPOE goes offline, access points drop, door controllers lose power, and whatever ran on those PoE ports stops. FC-10-M426E-212-02-12 addresses that directly: a 1-year 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA contract for the FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE Multi-Gig PoE Campus Switch. Fortinet dispatches a replacement unit and an on-site engineer within four hours of a confirmed hardware failure.

What This Service Covers

This RMA contract provides a 4-hour response commitment from the moment a hardware failure is confirmed by Fortinet TAC:

  • Advanced hardware replacement shipped to site within 4 hours
  • A Fortinet-certified engineer dispatched to perform the physical swap
  • Coverage for the registered FS-M426E-FPOE unit for the full 1-year term

This service requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite plan on the same device. It is not a standalone support contract.

Who Needs This Level of Coverage

The 4-Hour Onsite RMA tier suits environments where every minute of downtime carries a measurable cost. High-density PoE deployments in healthcare, enterprise campuses, hospitality, or education — where dozens of devices run off the same switch — belong in this category. If your team cannot absorb the time or expertise needed to swap a core campus switch under pressure, having a Fortinet engineer on-site to do it is the right call.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-M426E-212-02-12 is an electronic service contract. After purchase, you receive a license key by email within 0–1 business days. Register it to the FS-M426E-FPOE serial number in the Fortinet Support portal (support.fortinet.com) to activate coverage. No physical items ship. Coverage begins at registration.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and MSSP offering the full range of FortiSwitch hardware, FortiCare plans, and RMA upgrades. FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE hardware and all related support contracts are in stock and ready to order. License delivery arrives electronically the same business day. MSSP and volume pricing are available for fleet-sized deployments.

What does the 4-hour SLA include — parts, labour, or both?

Both. The 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA delivers an advance replacement unit and a certified Fortinet engineer to site within four hours of a confirmed hardware failure. Labour for the physical swap is included in the service.

Does this contract cover physical damage or only hardware defects?

This contract covers hardware failure due to manufacturing defect, not accidental physical damage. If damage results from misuse, power surges outside spec, or physical impact, the hardware warranty terms apply. Contact Fortinet TAC to initiate a case when a failure occurs.

Can I purchase this after the FortiSwitch is already deployed?

Yes, provided the device is still within the eligible enrollment window and you hold an active FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription. Fortinet may require confirmation that the device is operational at enrollment.

How do I open an RMA case when hardware fails?

Log in to the Fortinet Support portal, open a support ticket, and identify the registered device. Fortinet TAC will diagnose the issue; once hardware failure is confirmed, the 4-hour clock starts and both engineer and replacement unit are dispatched.

Is on-site service available for FortiSwitch deployments worldwide?

Fortinet’s on-site service availability depends on your location and the local Fortinet service network. Confirm coverage area eligibility with Fortinet Support before purchasing if your site is in a remote or non-metropolitan area.
