Fortinet FortiGate 121G 4-Hour Hardware Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-F121G-211-02-12)

Some sites cannot wait until the next morning for a replacement network appliance. A FortiGate 121G serving as the sole internet gateway at a retail location or logistics hub loses revenue from the moment it stops passing traffic. The FC-10-F121G-211-02-12 is a 1-Year 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA for the FortiGate 121G: when Fortinet confirms the hardware exchange, a courier dispatches the replacement unit to your site targeting on-site arrival within four hours.

What 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA Covers

Under this service, when a qualifying hardware failure is confirmed by Fortinet TAC as an RMA event, the replacement FortiGate 121G is dispatched by courier targeting on-site delivery within four hours of RMA confirmation. The hardware arrives at your location ready to install; no certified on-site engineer is included in this SKU. Your IT staff or on-site technician handles the physical installation. The service requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same device. FortiCare Essential is not eligible for Priority RMA add-ons.

Who Needs This Service

4-Hour hardware delivery RMA is appropriate for sites where a multi-hour outage is operationally unacceptable but on-site installation support is available. A managed service provider with a technician who can be on-site within the same window as the hardware, a retail chain with a manager who can handle basic networking hardware installation, or an office with an IT-competent staff member are all good candidates. If the site has no one available to rack and configure the replacement, the -212- (4-Hour On-Site) SKU that includes an engineer is the appropriate choice.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F121G-211-02-12 is delivered as a license key via e-delivery, typically within one business day of your order through DataCenter360.ca. Register the key in the Fortinet Support Portal against your FortiGate 121G serial number. Coverage starts from registration. A matching 1-year FortiCare Premium contract paired at the same time keeps both entitlements on the same renewal date.
