Fortinet FortiGate 121G 4-Hour On-Site RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-F121G-212-02-12)

A hardware failure at a branch without on-site IT creates two problems at once: getting a replacement unit there, and getting it running. The FC-10-F121G-212-02-12 is a 1-Year 4-Hour On-Site RMA service for the FortiGate 121G that addresses both. When Fortinet confirms the hardware exchange, a replacement appliance and a certified service engineer are dispatched to your location, targeting on-site arrival within four hours of RMA confirmation.

What 4-Hour On-Site RMA Covers

When a qualifying hardware failure is confirmed by Fortinet TAC as an RMA event, two resources are dispatched simultaneously to your site: a courier with the replacement FortiGate 121G, and a certified service engineer. The engineer handles the physical installation — racking, cabling, and confirming the unit is online and passing traffic. This 1-year contract covers qualifying hardware failure events during the term, with each incident triggering the same combined hardware and engineer response. The service requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the registered device; FortiCare Essential does not qualify for Priority RMA add-ons.

Who Needs This Service

4-Hour On-Site RMA is the right choice when a FortiGate 121G is the primary edge device at a location with no local IT staff available during business hours. Retail branches, warehouse sites, small offices managed remotely, and any branch where dispatching a technician from a central IT team would take longer than four hours all benefit from the combined hardware and engineer response. This is the highest-capability RMA tier for the FortiGate 121G and carries a corresponding price premium over the hardware-only -210- and -211- variants.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F121G-212-02-12 is delivered as a license key via e-delivery, typically within one business day of ordering through DataCenter360.ca. Apply the key in the Fortinet Support Portal against your FortiGate 121G serial number. Coverage begins from registration. Purchasing a matching 1-year FortiCare Premium contract at the same time simplifies renewal management and ensures both entitlements are in sync.
