Fortinet FortiGate 1800F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-F18HF-210-02-36)

A FortiGate 1800F protecting a busy data center can’t sit dark waiting on a standard next-business-day part. The FC-10-F18HF-210-02-36 is the 3-year Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA add-on for the FortiGate 1800F: it shortens the replacement window so a failed unit ships and arrives sooner, including weekends and holidays, for three full years.

What This RMA Add-On Covers

This is a Priority RMA (PRMA) add-on, not a standalone support plan. It sits on top of an existing FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract for the same FortiGate 1800F and upgrades the standard next-business-day replacement to Next Calendar Day delivery, so a courier-shipped replacement part can arrive the day after a confirmed exchange, including weekends and public holidays where the local cutoff time allows it. Coverage runs for the full 3-year term of this license, in step with the underlying support contract it’s attached to.

Who Needs Next Calendar Day Priority RMA

Teams running the FortiGate 1800F at the network edge or core of a data center, colocation facility, or high-throughput branch usually can’t tolerate a multi-day gap during a hardware failure. This add-on suits environments without full HA redundancy on every link, or HA deployments that still want the standby leg restored fast rather than left exposed. It’s a fit for IT and network operations teams that already budget for FortiCare Premium or Elite and want the fastest calendar-based replacement option short of the 4-hour courier tiers.

RMA Service Levels at a Glance

Priority RMA options build on whichever FortiCare tier is already active. Essential-tier customers aren’t eligible for Priority RMA add-ons at all; Premium and Elite both qualify, with Elite adding faster critical-issue response and phone support.

Activation & Delivery

Like every Fortinet subscription license, this is an electronic order: no hardware ships, and there’s no dependency on where the FortiGate 1800F itself was purchased. DataCenter360.ca provisions the license against the unit’s serial number, generally within one business day of order confirmation, and it’s usable as soon as it’s registered against an active Premium or Elite FortiCare contract on that device. Country-level Priority RMA availability can vary, so confirm local courier coverage before relying on the next-calendar-day window for a specific site.

We activate FortiGate 1800F RMA subscriptions daily and can confirm the exact FortiCare prerequisite for your unit before you check out, so you’re not caught short mid-renewal. As a Fortinet Select Partner we handle the licensing paperwork directly with Fortinet, and support doesn’t stop at the order confirmation email if you have questions about eligibility or timing.
