Fortinet FortiGate 40F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-0040F-210-02-12)

Not every site keeps a spare firewall on the shelf, but most cannot afford the two or three days it takes for a standard return-and-replace cycle. The FC-10-0040F-210-02-12 closes that gap with Next Calendar Day Hardware Delivery Priority RMA on the FortiGate 40F for twelve months, a replacement unit dispatched the calendar day after hardware failure confirmation, with no local spare required.

What This Service Covers

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA (SKU code 210) is an add-on entitlement for FortiGate 40F units already carrying FortiCare Premium or Elite. When a hardware failure is confirmed remotely by Fortinet TAC, Fortinet ships a replacement unit the next calendar day. This replaces the standard return-and-replace process included with FortiCare Essential, where the customer ships the defective unit before Fortinet ships the replacement, often adding several days to the downtime window.

FortiCare RMA Levels at a Glance

Priority RMA is an upgrade available exclusively to Premium and Elite FortiCare subscribers. The table shows the key differences across the standard Essential coverage and the add-on tiers.

Who Needs This

Branch offices running the FortiGate 40F as the primary perimeter device benefit most from a predictable recovery window. Retail locations, small professional services firms, school branches, and remote sites where on-site IT is not available are typical candidates. IT teams managing multiple sites remotely often purchase Priority RMA to reduce the chance of an unplanned emergency procurement or overnight trip when hardware fails. A one-year term suits sites that prefer annual budget cycles or are evaluating Priority RMA before committing to a multi-year contract.

Activation and Delivery

The FC-10-0040F-210-02-12 is an electronically delivered license, sent within 0-1 business days of order confirmation. Register the code on the FortiGate 40F serial number through the Fortinet support portal. Coverage activates at registration and runs for twelve months. Keep the registration confirmation as proof of entitlement for support case submissions.

One Service versus the Full Bundle

Priority RMA covers the hardware replacement SLA only. Threat protection services, including web filtering, IPS, antivirus, and anti-spam, come from FortiGuard subscriptions, either purchased individually or through bundle SKUs like UTP (FC-10-0040F-950-02-12) or Enterprise (FC-10-0040F-809-02-12). Adding Priority RMA to a bundle subscription gives comprehensive threat coverage plus fast hardware recovery in one device, without maintaining a local spare at every branch.
