Fortinet FortiGate 3000F DC 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-FD3K0-211-02-12)

When a FortiGate 3000F-DC fails in a production network, how fast the replacement arrives determines how long the outage lasts. The FC-10-FD3K0-211-02-12 is the one-year 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA service for the FortiGate 3000F-DC, upgrading the standard next-business-day replacement window to a four-hour courier delivery. This Priority RMA add-on requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the same device serial number and applies through weekends and holidays.

What This Service Covers

The 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA (SKU -211-) is a Fortinet add-on that runs alongside your existing FortiCare contract. When hardware is confirmed as defective:

• Fortinet confirms the exchange and dispatches a replacement unit via courier
• The replacement unit arrives at the registered site address within four hours of confirmation
• Service coverage includes weekends and public holidays, not just regular business days
• The service is specific to the FortiGate 3000F-DC chassis registered under this contract

This SKU covers a one-year term. Both the Priority RMA add-on and the underlying FortiCare Premium or Elite contract must remain active and co-terminus for the SLA to apply.

Who Buys This Service

Data centers and large enterprise networks running the FortiGate 3000F-DC as a core perimeter or segmentation device typically purchase this add-on when their uptime SLAs leave no room for an overnight wait. It suits network operations teams managing committed service levels for internal business units or external customers, where a replacement arriving the next business day would trigger an SLA breach. Organizations with high-availability architectures also use Priority RMA to restore full redundancy quickly after a hardware failure.
