Fortinet FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-TF124-211-02-60)

Campus core switches like the FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE rarely get refreshed on an annual cycle. FC-10-TF124-211-02-60 covers the unit for five years with 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA: one purchase, one activation, one expiry date aligned to a realistic equipment lifecycle. Replacement ships within four hours of any TAC-confirmed failure throughout that window.

What This RMA Service Covers

FC-10-TF124-211-02-60 is a Priority RMA add-on that operates alongside an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite plan. When a hardware fault is confirmed by the Fortinet TAC:

• A replacement FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE ships within 4 hours (advanced replacement model)
• Fortinet coordinates delivery logistics directly to your registered site address
• The faulty unit is returned using Fortinet-supplied shipping materials after the replacement is online

Coverage is tied to the serial number of the registered T1024F-FPOE and activates from the date of electronic fulfillment.

Who Uses a 4-Hour Hardware Delivery RMA

The FortiSwitch T1024F-FPOE is a 24-port multi-gig full PoE campus core switch, often carrying uplinks for access-layer switches and high-density wireless deployments across multiple floors. Organizations that rely on it for:

• Core campus uplinks where a failure affects dozens of downstream devices
• High-density PoE for wireless access points where power and data both depend on this switch
• Environments with internal SLAs or service agreements requiring sub-business-day hardware recovery

…benefit from the 4-hour delivery SLA when on-site engineer dispatch is not required.

FortiCare Tiers and Priority RMA Eligibility
