Fortinet FortiGate 31G Next-Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-GT31G-210-02-60)

Five years of covered hardware replacement without an annual RMA renewal is a practical fit for infrastructure expected to run unchanged until the end of the device support window. The FortiGate 31G 5-Year Next-Day Priority RMA (FC-10-GT31G-210-02-60) delivers next-calendar-day on-site courier replacement throughout that period, weekends and holidays included, for organizations that can absorb an overnight failure but need the hardware resolved by the following morning.

What the Next-Day Priority RMA Covers

Next-Day Priority RMA (service code -210) dispatches a replacement FortiGate 31G for on-site courier delivery the next calendar day after the exchange is confirmed. It requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same device for the full five-year term. The Advanced Replacement in FortiCare Premium is a next-business-day service; this add-on extends that commitment to any calendar day, so weekends and holidays are covered. FortiCare Essential does not qualify. The table below shows how Priority RMA eligibility differs across FortiCare tiers.

Who Needs This Service

Next-Day Priority RMA targets sites where hardware failure is disruptive but not immediately critical, and where a same-day resolution is not required. Warehousing and logistics operations, managed service providers overseeing distributed branch networks, and educational institutions with campus-wide connectivity are typical environments. The five-year term suits organizations deploying the FortiGate 31G on a defined EOL horizon with replacement coverage locked in from the initial purchase.

Activation and Delivery

This is a license-only SKU. No hardware ships with the purchase. DataCenter360.ca sends activation credentials by email within the same business day. You register the license in the Fortinet Support Portal, link it to the FortiGate 31G serial number, and associate it with the active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. Coverage begins on the activation date and runs for five years continuously.

One Service vs a Full Bundle

A 5-Year UTP or Enterprise bundle for the FortiGate 31G includes FortiCare Premium, making the device eligible for Priority RMA from the moment the bundle is activated. Adding FC-10-GT31G-210-02-60 alongside a bundle brings next-calendar-day courier delivery into a single deployment package. For an existing device with Premium already active, this SKU upgrades the replacement SLA directly without touching the subscription structure.
