Fortinet FortiGate 40F-3G4G Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-F40FG-210-02-60)

Hardware fails. The question is how long your FortiGate 40F-3G4G sits offline while you wait for a replacement. FC-10-F40FG-210-02-60 covers that gap with five years of Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA — once Fortinet TAC confirms a hardware defect, a replacement ships the same business day and arrives the next calendar day. For branch offices and distributed sites where overnight recovery is an acceptable SLA, this is a lower-cost alternative to the 4-hour delivery tier while still being far faster than standard return-and-replace.

What This Service Includes

This is a Priority RMA add-on that requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same unit. It replaces the standard RMA process — where you mail in the defective hardware and wait for a replacement — with proactive advance replacement: the new unit ships before you return the failed one. Activation is electronic, delivered from DataCenter360.ca within 0–1 business days, and registers against the unit’s serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal.

FortiCare Tier Comparison

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA is an add-on available at FortiCare Premium and Elite. The table below shows how hardware coverage and response times differ across all three support tiers:

Who Buys the 5-Year Next-Day Term

A 5-year Next Calendar Day subscription is a strong fit for long-cycle deployments — branch locations that won’t refresh hardware for the full equipment lifecycle, and where overnight recovery is an acceptable downtime window. The 5-year commitment eliminates annual renewal overhead and typically offers a lower effective per-year cost than rolling 1-year subscriptions. It also suits organizations that prefer predictable, multi-year operating expenses over capital renewal cycles.

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the license key electronically within 0–1 business days. You register it in the Fortinet Support Portal against the FortiGate 40F-3G4G serial number. When a failure occurs, contact Fortinet TAC: they’ll run standard diagnostics to confirm a hardware defect (typically 30 to 60 minutes), then trigger next-calendar-day shipment. Return the defective unit within 30 days of receiving the replacement.

Next-Day vs. 4-Hour: Choosing the Right Tier

The 210 (Next Calendar Day) tier is lower cost than the 211 (4-Hour) tier and covers most branch deployments where an overnight window is acceptable. If your site is customer-facing with very tight recovery requirements — retail, healthcare, or financial services — consider the 4-hour option instead. For sites where overnight downtime is the tolerable worst case, the Next Calendar Day tier saves budget while still delivering far faster than standard RMA.
