Fortinet FortiGate 2600F-DC Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-FD26F-210-02-36)

When a FortiGate 2600F-DC goes down, every minute of delay compounds risk. This 3-year Priority RMA subscription (FC-10-FD26F-210-02-36) upgrades your standard hardware replacement to next-calendar-day courier delivery, covering weekends and public holidays, so a failure on a Friday evening does not wait until Monday for a replacement unit to ship.

What the Priority RMA Covers

This add-on provides next-calendar-day hardware replacement for the FortiGate 2600F-DC. When Fortinet confirms a failure before your country’s cutoff time, a replacement unit is dispatched by courier for arrival the following calendar day. Coverage extends across 40 regional depots and 200+ in-country depots worldwide. Weekends and public holidays are included, which is the key difference from standard next-business-day RMA.

Priority RMA (SKU code -210-) is an add-on to your FortiCare contract, not a standalone service. The FortiGate 2600F-DC must carry an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription to be eligible. Essential-tier subscribers cannot add Priority RMA.

Who Needs This Service

The FortiGate 2600F-DC is a data-center-grade firewall built for high-availability deployments. Organizations running it as a perimeter or internal segmentation appliance typically operate with tight SLAs. Next-calendar-day RMA is the right fit for:

• Data centers with HA pairs where a failed node must be replaced within hours to restore redundancy
• Financial services, healthcare, and government environments with contractual uptime commitments
• Managed security providers operating FortiGate-DC hardware on behalf of clients
• Any site where a standard next-business-day window leaves too large a period of single-point exposure

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-FD26F-210-02-36 is delivered electronically. After your order, DataCenter360.ca supplies the Fortinet license registration code by email within 0 to 1 business days. You activate the code through the Fortinet Support Portal and tie it to the registered FortiGate 2600F-DC serial number. The 3-year coverage period starts at activation.

This service covers one specific device by serial number. If your deployment includes two 2600F-DC units in an HA cluster, each unit requires its own Priority RMA subscription.

Priority RMA vs. Your FortiCare Contract

Both FortiCare Premium and Elite include standard Advanced Replacement RMA targeting the next business day. The Priority RMA add-on accelerates that to next-calendar-day delivery. It complements your existing FortiCare contract rather than replacing it, and is particularly useful for sites that cannot absorb a two-day gap during a weekend outage.

Fortinet also offers four-hour courier and four-hour courier with on-site engineer options for even faster resolution. Contact DataCenter360.ca to confirm which Priority RMA options are available for your specific country and site address before purchasing.
