Standard RMA on a FortiCare Premium or Elite contract already replaces a failed FortiGate 1801F on the next business day, but that leaves weekends and holidays as dead time for a site that can’t wait. FC-10-F18F1-210-02-36 closes that gap: Next Calendar Day Priority RMA for three years, so a courier is on the way with a replacement chassis regardless of what day the unit fails.
This is the Next Calendar Day tier of Fortinet’s Priority RMA (PRMA) program for the FortiGate 1801F: a replacement unit ships by courier so it arrives the calendar day after a confirmed hardware exchange, seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. It layers on top of the base RMA already bundled with a FortiCare Premium or Elite contract, which otherwise only guarantees next-business-day delivery. The subscription runs three years and is tied to the FortiGate 1801F’s serial number.
Next Calendar Day RMA fits organizations running a FortiGate 1801F where a Friday or holiday failure can’t sit until Monday: retail and hospitality edges, regional data centers, and any site without local spare hardware on the shelf. It’s the entry-level Priority RMA tier, a step up from the FortiCare-included next-business-day baseline but a notch below the four-hour and on-site engineer options for teams that can tolerate roughly a day of downtime rather than needing same-day recovery.
Priority RMA add-ons, including this Next Calendar Day tier, require an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract; FortiCare Essential customers aren’t eligible to add it. The table below summarizes what each FortiCare tier includes before a Priority RMA add-on is layered on top.

| Hardware RMA | Return & replace | Advanced replacement | Advanced replacement |
| Priority RMA add-on eligible | — | ✓ | ✓ |

There’s no hardware to unbox here: this is a license. After checkout, DataCenter360.ca emails the activation contract number, the customer or their partner registers it against the FortiGate 1801F’s serial number in the support portal, and Fortinet’s RMA system picks up the Next Calendar Day entitlement on the next claim. Activation is electronic and typically completes the same day the order is placed.
Fortinet offers four Priority RMA levels for the FortiGate 1801F: this Next Calendar Day courier tier, a four-hour courier option, four-hour courier with a Fortinet-dispatched on-site engineer, and Secure RMA for environments that can’t let failed hardware leave the building. Next Calendar Day is the value entry point, the right call when a next-day arrival is fast enough and the budget doesn’t need to stretch to four-hour dispatch.
As a Fortinet Select Partner, DataCenter360.ca sells this RMA upgrade to any organization running a FortiGate 1801F, anywhere in the world; licensing and delivery are electronic, not tied to Canadian shipping. If you’re weighing Next Calendar Day against the four-hour tiers, or need the underlying FortiCare Premium/Elite contract quoted alongside it, reach out before ordering.
No. FC-10-F18F1-210-02-36 is a subscription license that upgrades the FortiGate 1801F’s existing RMA entitlement to Next Calendar Day courier delivery. It activates against the unit’s serial number and is delivered electronically, worldwide, the same day it’s purchased.
Yes. Priority RMA add-ons, including this Next Calendar Day tier, require an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the FortiGate 1801F; FortiCare Essential does not qualify. DataCenter360.ca can quote the FortiCare contract alongside this add-on if it isn’t already in place.
This SKU guarantees a replacement arrives the calendar day after a confirmed exchange. The four-hour tiers cut that window to roughly four hours, with an on-site-engineer variant for sites that also need someone to perform the physical swap. Next Calendar Day is the lower-cost option for environments that don’t need same-day turnaround.
Yes. Priority RMA options, including this tier, ship on weekends and holidays, subject to country-level courier availability. Coverage can vary by region, so confirm local availability with DataCenter360.ca before relying on it for a specific site.
The Next Calendar Day entitlement ends with the three-year term, and the FortiGate 1801F drops back to whatever base RMA level its FortiCare contract provides. Renew before expiry, or move to a 5-year term, to keep Priority RMA coverage from lapsing.
