Fortinet FortiGate 40F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-0040F-210-02-60)

Budgeting five years ahead simplifies IT planning considerably. The FC-10-0040F-210-02-60 locks in Next Calendar Day Hardware Delivery Priority RMA on the FortiGate 40F for sixty months, covering every hardware failure over that window with next-day dispatch of a replacement unit. No annual renewals, no mid-cycle pricing surprises, and no spare unit required on-site.

What Next Calendar Day Priority RMA Covers

The Next Calendar Day service (SKU code 210) is an add-on available to FortiGate 40F units carrying FortiCare Premium or Elite. When TAC confirms a hardware failure that cannot be resolved remotely, Fortinet ships a replacement unit by the next calendar day. This is an upgrade from the standard return-and-replace process included with FortiCare Essential, where the customer ships the defective unit first and waits for the replacement after inspection.

FortiCare RMA Levels at a Glance

Priority RMA is an add-on tier available to Premium and Elite FortiCare subscribers. The table below shows where standard FortiCare Essential ends and Priority RMA begins.

Who Benefits from a 5-Year Term

Five-year contracts suit organizations that plan to operate the FortiGate 40F through its full lifecycle without a hardware refresh in between. Managed service providers covering fixed-term client contracts, nonprofits with constrained renewal budgets, and IT directors who consolidate vendor renewals annually all benefit from knowing the RMA SLA is locked in. Purchasing five years at once typically costs less per year than five consecutive one-year contracts, making this the lowest-cost way to maintain Priority RMA coverage over the device’s life.

Activation and Delivery

The FC-10-0040F-210-02-60 is delivered electronically worldwide within 0-1 business days. Attach the registration code to your FortiGate 40F serial number via the FortiCare portal. The five-year coverage window starts at registration, not at purchase date, so there is no urgency to register immediately if the device is not yet deployed or if you are pre-purchasing ahead of a refresh cycle.

Next Calendar Day versus 4-Hour Priority RMA

If your site can recover overnight but not over multiple days, the 210 Next Calendar Day service is the right fit. Sites that need a replacement within business hours should evaluate the 4-Hour delivery option (211 SKU), which ships within four business hours of fault confirmation. Both services require an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract and can be purchased in 1-year, 3-year, or 5-year terms. Adding either to a bundle subscription gives you comprehensive threat coverage plus fast hardware recovery in a single device, without maintaining local spares at each location.
