Fortinet FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-TF124-212-02-60)

When network infrastructure investments span a five-year lifecycle, matching RMA coverage to that term avoids repeated renewals and coverage gaps. FC-10-TF124-212-02-60 covers the FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE for five years with 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA: hardware replacement plus engineer dispatch, both within four hours of a TAC-confirmed failure.

What This RMA Service Covers

FC-10-TF124-212-02-60 is a Priority RMA add-on requiring an active FortiCare Premium or Elite base plan on the T1024F-FPOE. When the Fortinet TAC confirms a hardware fault, Fortinet initiates two parallel actions:

• A replacement FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE is dispatched to your site within 4 hours
• A Fortinet-certified engineer is dispatched to your location within the same 4-hour window
• The engineer handles installation of the replacement unit, verifies it is operational, and arranges return of the faulty hardware

This service is appropriate when local IT staff cannot be relied on for after-hours hardware swaps or when the switch is in a location that requires a trained technician for safe removal and replacement.

Who Uses 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA

The FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE anchors campus network cores. When it fails, the on-site engineer option is most relevant for:

• Remote or secondary sites without on-site IT staff
• Environments where insurance or compliance policy requires a certified technician for equipment changes
• Deployments where the T1024F-FPOE is rack-mounted in a locked data room and access procedures require coordination
