Fortinet FortiGate 31G Next-Day Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-GT31G-210-02-36)

Three years of next-calendar-day hardware replacement maps well to network refresh cycles driven by operating-lease schedules or medium-term infrastructure plans. The FortiGate 31G 3-Year Next-Day Priority RMA (FC-10-GT31G-210-02-36) keeps replacement coverage intact across that window without the overhead of annual renewal decisions, at a cost level below the 4-Hour response tier.

What the Next-Day Priority RMA Covers

The -210 service code adds next-calendar-day on-site courier delivery on top of the Advanced Replacement already included with FortiCare Premium and Elite. It is not a standalone support contract; it extends the replacement timeline from next-business-day to any calendar day, so weekends and statutory holidays are covered. FortiCare Essential does not qualify for this add-on. The table below shows Priority RMA eligibility across FortiCare tiers for the FortiGate 31G.

Who Needs This Service

Managed service providers supporting branch deployments with multiple FortiGate 31G units across a geographic footprint, and mid-sized businesses where the 31G is a single-appliance branch perimeter, are the strongest fit. The three-year term covers a standard hardware refresh window without over-committing to a five-year horizon, which is useful when technology roadmaps are reviewed every few years rather than tied to hardware EOL.

Activation and Delivery

License only, no physical product. DataCenter360.ca delivers activation credentials by email within the same business day of purchase. You activate the service through the Fortinet Support Portal by pairing the license with the FortiGate 31G serial number under an active FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription. Coverage is active from the registration date for three years.

One Service vs a Full Bundle

Adding a 3-year UTP or Enterprise bundle when deploying a FortiGate 31G already sets up Premium coverage, making this Next-Day RMA add-on available at any point from day one. For an existing deployment where FortiCare Premium is already active, FC-10-GT31G-210-02-36 can be applied directly to upgrade the replacement SLA without changing any other service on the device.
