Fortinet FortiGate 2201E Priority RMA, Next Calendar Day, 1-Year (FC-10-F22E1-210-02-12)

A FortiGate 2201E that goes down without a fast replacement path can stall an entire branch or data center edge. FC-10-F22E1-210-02-12 is the 1-Year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA add-on for the FortiGate 2201E: once the exchange is confirmed, Fortinet ships a replacement chassis by courier to arrive the next calendar day, including weekends and holidays, subject to the local country cutoff time. This service layers on top of an existing FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract; it does not replace either one.

What this RMA add-on covers

Standard FortiCare Premium and Elite contracts already include next-business-day Advanced Replacement. Priority RMA shortens that window and removes the business-day restriction, so a failed FortiGate 2201E gets a courier-shipped replacement on a calendar-day basis rather than waiting out a weekend or holiday. The defective unit is returned afterward under the usual RMA process; Fortinet ships the replacement first (Advanced Replacement), not after receiving the failed hardware back.

Who needs Priority RMA on a FortiGate 2201E

This tier of hardware sits at the network edge of larger sites: campus aggregation, data center perimeter, or a hub site with multiple branches depending on it. Teams running a single 2201E without a hot-standby HA pair are the most exposed to a weekend or overnight failure, since the standard next-business-day window can mean two or three extra days without a firewall. Priority RMA closes that gap. It also suits organizations with contractual uptime commitments to their own customers, where a Monday morning RMA shipment isn’t fast enough to satisfy an internal SLA.

Activation and delivery

This is a license SKU, not a physical part: DataCenter360.ca delivers the entitlement electronically, typically within one business day of order confirmation, to any country worldwide. The add-on registers against the FortiGate 2201E’s existing serial number and FortiCare Premium or Elite contract in the Fortinet support portal. There is no hardware shipment tied to the license itself; the courier delivery only happens if and when an RMA case is actually opened.

One RMA term vs. the next

The 1-year term keeps the add-on aligned to an annual renewal cycle, which is the common choice when the FortiCare contract itself renews yearly. Multi-year terms (3-year, 5-year) are also available for the FortiGate 2201E and avoid a repeat purchase cycle, at a lower blended annual cost. Whichever term is chosen, Priority RMA is only additive: it requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract underneath it, and does not stand in for either.
