Authorized Partner for United States (US)Running a FortiSwitch-M426E-FPOE past initial deployment and well into a 5-year lifecycle is common in campus environments built for stability rather than frequent refresh. FC-10-M426E-212-02-60 locks in 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA protection for the entire span — so if the switch develops a hardware fault in year three or year five, the response commitment is the same as day one.
FC-10-M426E-212-02-60 provides 5 years of Priority RMA coverage for the registered FS-M426E-FPOE unit:
An active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription is required on the same device for the duration.
Teams managing campus infrastructure on long depreciation schedules — where the same switches stay deployed for five to seven years — find the 5-year term the most practical. There’s no mid-cycle renewal decision, no risk of a coverage gap at year three, and the per-year cost typically works out lower than stacking annual renewals. Organizations with strict change-management processes also benefit from the predictability: one contract, one expiry date, full coverage throughout.
FC-10-M426E-212-02-60 is an electronic license delivered within 0–1 business days of purchase. Register it to the FS-M426E-FPOE serial number in the Fortinet Support portal to start the 5-year coverage window. No physical hardware ships for the license itself.
Priority RMA requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as a base plan. The table below shows how coverage compares across FortiCare tiers:
| Essential | Premium | Elite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |
| Critical-issue response | Next business day | 1 hour | 15 minutes |
| Telephone support | — | ✓ | ✓ |
DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner stocking FortiSwitch hardware and the complete range of FortiCare and Priority RMA contracts. Five-year terms on multi-unit deployments often qualify for volume pricing — contact us before placing a fleet order to confirm available pricing on M426E-FPOE hardware and this RMA contract together.
No per-incident or per-year limit is specified in the contract. Priority RMA can be invoked each time a hardware failure is confirmed by Fortinet TAC during the 5-year term.
Yes. FortiCare Premium or Elite must remain active for the full 5-year RMA term. If the base plan lapses, Priority RMA benefits are suspended until it’s renewed. Aligning both contracts on a matching 5-year term removes this risk.
Enrollment after deployment is possible, provided the device is operational and within the enrollment window. Fortinet may verify device condition before approving coverage. Contact DataCenter360.ca or Fortinet Support with the serial number to confirm eligibility.
The coverage scope — 4-hour hardware and on-site engineer — is identical. The difference is duration and convenience. The 5-year term avoids four separate renewals and typically costs less per year than five consecutive annual purchases.
Fortinet’s on-site service coverage depends on the local service network in your region. Confirm availability before committing to the on-site RMA tier if your site is rural or in a non-metropolitan area — Fortinet Support can advise on regional eligibility.
