Fortinet FortiGate 40F 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-0040F-211-02-60)

Five years of 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA provides long-term replacement speed for the FortiGate 40F without the cost of on-site engineer dispatch. When a hardware fault is confirmed and the RMA exchange is authorized, Fortinet sends a courier who delivers the replacement unit to your site within 4 hours. Your team handles the physical installation. The service requires FortiCare Premium or Elite, covers weekends and holidays, and runs for the full 60-month term without renewal.

What FC-10-0040F-211-02-60 Includes

This is a 60-month (5-year) Priority RMA add-on at the 4-Hour Hardware Delivery tier for the FortiGate 40F. Once Fortinet confirms the exchange, a courier is dispatched. The target is delivery to your site within 4 hours. There is no engineer component: the service is hardware replacement only, and your team racks, cables, and ships back the defective unit. Coverage applies on weekends and holidays. The 5-year term eliminates any mid-lifecycle renewal work.

FortiCare Tier Requirements

Priority RMA add-ons are not standalone. They require FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite on the same FortiGate 40F. Essential customers are not eligible for Priority RMA. The table below shows how the three FortiCare tiers differ on RMA and support:

Who This Tier Fits

The 4-Hour Hardware Delivery option is the right call when the site has qualified IT staff capable of handling a firewall swap but cannot wait for standard next-business-day shipping. Managed service providers running on-call rotations, colocation environments with resident technicians, and organizations with in-house network teams at the location all fit this profile. Paying for on-site engineer dispatch adds cost without benefit when competent hands are already on premises.

If the FortiGate 40F is at a location with no qualified staff, the FC-10-0040F-212-02-60 (4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer, 5-year) adds engineer dispatch. A five-year term on either option simplifies long-term support planning for the device.
