Fortinet FortiGate 2600F-DC Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-FD26F-210-02-12)

The FortiGate 2600F-DC is a carrier-class data center firewall, and when hardware fails at that scale, next-business-day replacement is often too slow. FC-10-FD26F-210-02-12 is the 1-year Priority RMA add-on that accelerates delivery to the next calendar day — weekends and holidays included — so a failed chassis does not become a multi-day outage.

What This Service Covers

This SKU adds Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA coverage on top of your existing FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. Standard FortiCare Premium and Elite include next-business-day advanced replacement; this add-on converts that to next calendar day. A Friday failure gets a replacement Saturday, and a Sunday failure delivers Monday morning.

• Replacement unit shipped by courier, arriving the next calendar day from exchange confirmation
• Coverage applies on weekends and holidays, subject to country cutoff times
• Advanced replacement method: Fortinet ships before receiving the defective unit
• Requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the same 2600F-DC serial number

Who Needs This Add-On

Data center operators running the 2600F-DC as a core perimeter or inter-DC firewall typically operate 24/7 with strict availability commitments. A next-business-day window can translate to 48-72 hours of exposure on a weekend failure. Priority RMA closes that gap. For teams running the 2600F-DC in a high-availability pair, faster replacement of the failed secondary also reduces the window in which a single additional failure would take down the whole path.

Activation and Delivery

This is a software license delivered electronically. DataCenter360.ca ships the license key by email, typically within one business day of purchase, to customers in any country. Register the key in the Fortinet Support portal against your 2600F-DC serial number to activate coverage. The 1-year term begins at registration. Fortinet sends an expiry reminder before the term ends.
