Fortinet FortiGate 3000F 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-F3K0F-211-02-36)

A FortiGate 3000F handles traffic for large enterprise perimeters and data center edges where throughput is measured in tens of gigabits. When that appliance goes down, waiting until the next business day for a replacement is often not an option. The FC-10-F3K0F-211-02-36 adds a 3-year 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA contract to a 3000F running FortiCare Premium or Elite, binding Fortinet to dispatch a courier-delivered replacement unit to the site within four hours of exchange confirmation, including weekends and holidays.

What the 4-Hour Priority RMA Covers

This is a hardware replacement speed upgrade, not a separate support contract. It layers on top of the base FortiCare support tier and governs one thing: how fast Fortinet puts replacement hardware in the customer’s hands. The table below shows where each tier stands on hardware RMA and support response.

Who Should Purchase This Add-On

This SKU is most relevant to organizations where the FortiGate 3000F is the primary or sole gateway device at a site, rather than part of an active-passive HA pair with a spare chassis immediately available. Typical buyers include:

• Data center operators where the 3000F sits at the perimeter and a failure directly affects external connectivity
• Managed service providers with SLA commitments to tenants that require sub-four-hour recovery time objectives
• Enterprise IT teams running HA clusters who need the failed node replaced quickly to restore full redundancy

FortiCare Essential contracts are not eligible for Priority RMA add-ons. The base contract must be Premium or Elite before this subscription can be applied.

Activation and Delivery

This is a purely electronic subscription. DataCenter360.ca sends the activation code by email, typically within 0 to 1 business days of payment. The code is applied to the target device serial number in the Fortinet support portal, and the Priority RMA term of three years starts from the activation date. No physical shipment is required for the license itself. Actual hardware replacement under the RMA, once an exchange is confirmed through Fortinet’s support portal, is fulfilled by Fortinet’s courier and depot network.
