Product description

Hardware support contracts for campus core infrastructure are commonly purchased alongside the switch and aligned to a 3-year refresh cycle. FC-10-TF124-210-02-36 provides three years of Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the FortiSwitch-T1024F-FPOE — one contract covers a full planning cycle, and advance replacement ships the next calendar day after Fortinet TAC confirms a hardware failure.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-TF124-210-02-36 provides Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the registered FS-T1024F-FPOE for 3 years:

  • Advance replacement unit ships the next calendar day after TAC-confirmed hardware failure
  • 36 months of continuous coverage on the registered FS-T1024F-FPOE serial number
  • Requires active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite coterminous with this RMA contract

A 3-year term eliminates the annual renewal cycle and ensures no coverage gap develops from a missed renewal date. Both this contract and the underlying FortiCare plan should be aligned to the same expiration date to maintain continuous RMA eligibility.

Who Uses the 3-Year Term

The 3-year term is the most common choice for new hardware deployments where FS-T1024F-FPOE hardware, FortiCare, and RMA are purchased together. It aligns to the planning cycles of most campus network teams and reduces the administrative overhead of annual renewals. Organizations purchasing multiple FortiSwitch units often co-terminate all RMA contracts to a single date, making the 3-year term a natural fit when the hardware was deployed at a similar time.

Activation and Delivery

Electronic license contract. DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key within 0-1 business days of purchase. Register at support.fortinet.com using the FS-T1024F-FPOE serial number. The 36-month coverage window starts on the registration date. No physical items ship for the license contract.

Term Options for T1024F-FPOE Next Calendar Day RMA

The same Next Calendar Day service is available in 1-year (FC-10-TF124-210-02-12) and 5-year (FC-10-TF124-210-02-60) terms. If faster delivery or on-site engineering is needed, the 4-Hour Hardware (FC-10-TF124-211) and 4-Hour On-Site (FC-10-TF124-212) tiers provide the same 3-year term option. All Priority RMA tiers for the FS-T1024F-FPOE require FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base plan.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner with FortiSwitch T-series hardware and the full support catalog in inventory. Multi-switch and MSSP pricing available. If you’re building out a campus core deployment with multiple FS-T1024F-FPOE units, we can configure all hardware and support contracts with matching expiration dates in a single order. License delivery is the same business day.

Should I purchase the 3-year RMA at the same time as the hardware?

That is the recommended approach. Registering hardware, FortiCare, and RMA contracts simultaneously from a single purchase ensures they share the same start date and expiration. Purchasing RMA after the fact — especially after a coverage gap — may require additional steps or pricing adjustments. DataCenter360.ca can bundle all three in one order.

What happens to the 3-year RMA contract if the FS-T1024F-FPOE is replaced by a newer switch mid-term?

Priority RMA contracts are tied to a specific device serial number. They cannot be transferred to a different device. If the switch is replaced before the term expires, the remaining contract term has no practical value. This is worth factoring into lifecycle planning before committing to a 3-year term.

Is the delivery time guaranteed to be the next calendar day, or is it an estimated target?

The ‘Next Calendar Day’ is the Fortinet SLA for when the replacement ships — the day after TAC confirms the hardware failure. Delivery to your site after shipping is subject to carrier transit time, which varies by location. Fortinet does not typically guarantee an on-site arrival time, only the shipment date. Verify expected transit time to your location with Fortinet before relying on a specific on-site deadline.

Can this RMA be upgraded to 4-Hour delivery mid-contract if our requirements change?

Mid-contract upgrades between RMA tiers are possible in some cases but require a case with Fortinet Support and may involve pro-rating and pricing adjustments. The cleanest approach is selecting the appropriate tier from the start. Contact DataCenter360.ca if an upgrade scenario comes up.

Do the 3-year and 1-year contracts offer identical service, just different durations?

Yes. FC-10-TF124-210-02-36 and FC-10-TF124-210-02-12 provide the same Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA service. The difference is only the duration — 36 months versus 12 months. Pricing per year may differ, and the 3-year term eliminates the annual renewal process.
