Fortinet FortiGate 2200E Next Calendar Day Priority RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F22HE-210-02-36)

A FortiGate 2200E doesn’t stay in service on hope alone: if the chassis fails, the replacement clock starts ticking the moment support is notified. FC-10-F22HE-210-02-36 locks in Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the FortiGate 2200E for three years, so a failed unit ships a working replacement the next business day instead of waiting on standard turnaround.

What this service covers

This is an add-on RMA upgrade, not a standalone support contract. It requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription on the same FortiGate 2200E, and it swaps the default RMA handling for Next Calendar Day Delivery: once Fortinet confirms a hardware fault, a replacement chassis is dispatched for delivery the following business day. The three-year term covers the full license window so the faster RMA clock stays in force for the life of the subscription, no annual renewal reminders needed.

Who needs this

Teams running a FortiGate 2200E as a primary data center or campus core firewall usually can’t tolerate a multi-day gap in hardware coverage. This add-on suits network and security teams where the 2200E sits on a critical path: internet edge, inter-VDOM segmentation, or the aggregation point for branch VPN tunnels. If the standard RMA window in your base FortiCare plan is too slow for that role, this is the fix.

Priority RMA levels for the FortiGate 2200E

FortiCare ships with baseline RMA handling. This SKU steps that up to Next Calendar Day Delivery, one tier below the more aggressive 4-Hour options. Here’s how the RMA response levels compare across FortiCare tiers:

Activation & delivery

This is a license, not a physical item. Once ordered, the entitlement is applied to the FortiGate 2200E’s serial number in Fortinet’s registration system and confirmed against the FortiCare account. There’s no shipment, no download, and no downtime on the firewall itself, just an updated support record that changes how fast a replacement unit moves if hardware ever fails. Delivery is electronic and available anywhere in the world; the RMA shipment logistics for the replacement unit itself follow Fortinet’s regional depot network at the time a claim is filed.

One RMA tier vs. the next

If the 2200E sits somewhere that can absorb a next-day replacement, this SKU is usually the right balance of cost and coverage. Environments that can’t tolerate any gap, redundant data center cores, regulated uptime commitments, should look at the 4-Hour Priority RMA (FC-10-F22HE-211-02-36) or the 4-Hour On-Site variant (FC-10-F22HE-212-02-36) instead. Either way, the prerequisite doesn’t change: FortiCare Premium or Elite has to already be active on the unit.
