Product description

The FortiSwitch-T1024F-FPOE is a 24-port Multi-Gig Full PoE campus core switch — a device that delivers both switching capacity and PoE power to connected devices. When it goes down, every PoE-powered endpoint on the segment loses both connectivity and power. FC-10-TF124-210-02-12 adds 1-year Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA, targeting hardware recovery within 24 hours of a TAC-confirmed failure.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-TF124-210-02-12 provides Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the registered FS-T1024F-FPOE for 1 year:

  • Advance replacement unit ships the next calendar day after Fortinet TAC confirms hardware failure
  • Coverage tied to the registered FS-T1024F-FPOE serial number for 12 months
  • Requires active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite on the same device

“Next Calendar Day” refers to when the replacement ships, not when it arrives on-site. Actual delivery time after shipping depends on your location and carrier logistics. Confirm expected transit time with Fortinet for your specific region.

Who Buys Priority RMA for a Full PoE Campus Core

Next Calendar Day coverage is appropriate for organizations where a same-business-day hardware replacement is the recovery target and on-site technical staff can complete the physical swap. Campus networks powering wireless APs, IP phones, and security cameras through the FS-T1024F-FPOE typically tolerate a few hours more than a 4-hour window but cannot absorb a multi-day standard RMA wait. Healthcare facilities, hospitality networks, and mid-size enterprise campuses are common buyers of this tier for PoE core switches.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic license contract. After purchase from DataCenter360.ca, the license key is delivered within 0-1 business days. Register at support.fortinet.com using the FS-T1024F-FPOE serial number to activate 12 months of Priority RMA coverage. No physical items are shipped for the license itself.

Choosing the Right RMA Tier for the T1024F-FPOE

Fortinet offers multiple Priority RMA tiers for the FS-T1024F-FPOE. FC-10-TF124-210 (this contract) ships a replacement the next calendar day. FC-10-TF124-211 delivers hardware within 4 hours. FC-10-TF124-212 adds an on-site engineer within 4 hours. If your organization’s recovery time objective for a Full PoE core switch is tighter than 24 hours, or if on-site technical staff aren’t available for the physical swap, the higher tiers are worth evaluating. All require FortiCare Premium or Elite as a base plan.

FortiCare Support Levels at a Glance

Priority RMA is an add-on that requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base plan. Here is how the tiers compare on RMA and support capabilities:

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

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner carrying FortiSwitch T-series hardware and the complete range of FortiCare and Priority RMA contracts. If you’re sourcing the FS-T1024F-FPOE hardware alongside FortiCare and RMA coverage, we can pull a complete bundle quote. Same-day license delivery after order. MSSP and volume pricing available for multi-unit deployments.

Why is Priority RMA particularly important on a Full PoE campus core switch?

A Full PoE core switch like the FS-T1024F-FPOE does double duty: it switches traffic and delivers power to connected devices. When it fails, wireless APs, IP phones, cameras, and other PoE endpoints all go dark simultaneously. That makes recovery time more urgent than on a standard switching layer. Priority RMA narrows the window by shipping a replacement the next calendar day rather than waiting for standard RMA logistics.

Does the 1-year term make sense, or should I match the hardware lifecycle?

A 1-year term makes sense if you want annual flexibility to reassess RMA coverage, or if the hardware is near end of its planned lifecycle. If the FS-T1024F-FPOE will be in service for 3 or 5 years, FC-10-TF124-210-02-36 and FC-10-TF124-210-02-60 cover the same Next Calendar Day service over longer periods, avoiding annual renewal administration.

What FortiCare plan must the FS-T1024F-FPOE already have for this RMA to be valid?

FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite is required. Essential does not qualify for Priority RMA add-ons. The FortiCare plan must be active on the same device serial number for the Priority RMA contract to be activatable and enforceable.

Is there a difference between this and a standard (non-priority) RMA?

Yes, significantly. Standard RMA under FortiCare Essential requires you to return the failed unit and wait for a replacement — typically 3 to 5 business days. Next Calendar Day Priority RMA ships the replacement first (advance replacement), the day after failure confirmation, cutting the hardware recovery window to roughly 24 hours from when Fortinet TAC confirms the failure.

Does DataCenter360.ca stock the FS-T1024F-FPOE hardware as well as this contract?

Yes. DataCenter360.ca carries FS-T1024F-FPOE hardware and can bundle hardware, FortiCare Premium, and Priority RMA contracts in a single order. If you’re speccing out a new deployment or refreshing existing switches, reach out and we’ll put together a complete package.
