Fortinet FortiGate 2601F Priority RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F26F1-210-02-36)

When a FortiGate 2601F goes down in a production environment, every hour counts. The 3-Year Priority RMA service (FC-10-F26F1-210-02-36) adds next-calendar-day hardware delivery on top of your existing FortiCare Premium or Elite contract, so a replacement unit is in transit before your team has finished the incident report.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-F26F1-210-02-36 is a 3-year Priority RMA add-on license for the FortiGate 2601F. It upgrades your hardware replacement SLA from the standard advanced-replacement timeline to next-calendar-day delivery, meaning Fortinet ships a replacement unit the same calendar day a valid RMA case is opened. The service runs alongside your FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite plan and cannot be purchased without one of those base contracts already in place.

Who Should Buy This Add-On

The FortiGate 2601F is a high-throughput chassis-based firewall built for data-center and carrier-grade deployments. Organizations running active-passive or active-active clusters, or supporting regulated workloads where hardware downtime carries compliance exposure, are the primary buyers. If your business continuity plan cannot accommodate a multi-day wait for a replacement chassis, next-calendar-day delivery closes that gap.

It pairs naturally with FortiCare Premium for teams that want strong SLAs without the full Elite monitoring stack, and with Elite for security operations teams that also need 15-minute critical-issue response.

Activation and Delivery

This is an electronic license delivered to the email address on your FortiCare account, typically within 0-1 business days of order confirmation. Once registered against your FG-2601F serial number through the Fortinet Support Portal, the upgraded RMA SLA is active immediately. No hardware is shipped at activation; the priority replacement shipment occurs only if and when an RMA case is opened.

Priority RMA Versus the Full Care Bundle

A FortiCare Premium or Enterprise bundle includes standard advanced-replacement RMA as part of the base contract. The Priority RMA add-on is a separate line item that accelerates delivery specifically to the next calendar day. If you are evaluating whether to renew FortiCare alone or to add Priority RMA as well, consider the exposure cost of each additional day the 2601F chassis is offline versus the annual premium for this service. For most data-center installations, the math favors adding it.
