Fortinet FortiGate 2600F 4-Hour Priority RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-F26HF-211-02-60)

The FortiGate 2600F is a 1RU data-center firewall rated for 11.5 Gbps of SSL inspection throughput, and FC-10-F26HF-211-02-60 is the five-year Priority RMA add-on that gets a failed unit back on-site within four hours instead of the next business day. It stacks on top of an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract for the appliance; it does not replace that base support, and it carries no hardware of its own.

What This Priority RMA Service Covers

Standard FortiCare Premium and Elite contracts already include next-business-day advanced replacement: Fortinet ships the new unit before receiving the faulty one back. The four-hour courier tier goes further, dispatching a replacement part on-site by courier within four hours of a confirmed exchange, and the option covers weekends and holidays where the standard next-day service does not always apply. This SKU locks that four-hour SLA in for five years on a single FortiGate 2600F, so renewal timing and pricing are settled once instead of re-quoted annually.

FortiCare & RMA Support Levels

Priority RMA add-ons are only available on top of Premium or Elite; Essential-tier devices are not eligible. Here is how the response commitments compare across the three FortiCare tiers for a FortiGate 2600F:

Who Needs 4-Hour Priority RMA

This add-on suits FortiGate 2600F deployments where a hardware failure has a real cost per hour: data-center edge firewalls carrying production SSL inspection load, colocation sites without on-hand spares, or environments where the standard next-business-day window doesn’t match an SLA the reseller has already committed to a customer. If the 2600F sits in an HA pair with a second appliance covering the gap, the standard next-day RMA under Premium is often enough and this add-on becomes a convenience rather than a requirement; single-node deployments benefit the most.

Activation, Term & Delivery

FC-10-F26HF-211-02-60 is an electronic subscription license tied to the FortiGate 2600F’s serial number and to an active Premium or Elite FortiCare contract; there is no physical shipment. DataCenter360.ca delivers activation details by email within 0–1 business days of order confirmation, and the five-year term runs from activation, not from purchase date, so it can be pre-purchased ahead of an existing contract’s renewal. Country-level courier availability for the four-hour option varies, so confirm coverage for the deployment site with a Fortinet account manager or with DataCenter360.ca before relying on it for a hard SLA.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

We keep FortiCare and RMA renewals for the FortiGate 2600F in stock as electronic licenses, priced and issued the same day, with no minimum order and no waiting on a quote for a single-line renewal. If the underlying base contract still needs Premium or Elite coverage, or a different term length fits the deployment’s budget cycle better, our team can bundle everything into one order rather than three separate ones.
