Fortinet FortiGate 70G-PoE 4-Hour Hardware + Onsite Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-G70GP-212-02-60)

When a branch firewall fails at a site without local technical staff, replacement hardware speed matters less if no one is there to install it. FC-10-G70GP-212-02-60 provides 5 years of 4-Hour Hardware and Onsite Engineer Priority RMA for the FortiGate 70G-PoE, combining hardware dispatch speed with engineer dispatch for locations that need both covered under a single service term.

What This Service Covers

The 212 service tier has two components: Fortinet dispatches a replacement FortiGate 70G-PoE within 4 hours of a covered hardware failure, and dispatches an onsite engineer to install it. For locations without IT staff on-site or where remote installation coordination is not practical, this removes both the downtime from replacement delay and the logistical burden of arranging separate installation resources.

FC-10-G70GP-212-02-60 covers the FortiGate 70G-PoE for five years. FortiCare Premium or Elite is required as the base support contract. The 5-year term aligns with a full hardware deployment cycle, avoiding annual renewal overhead for a deployment expected to run its full rated lifespan.

How the 212 service tier relates to FortiCare support levels:

Who Should Add This

This service fits edge and branch FortiGate 70G-PoE deployments where the firewall is critical to site connectivity and no qualified IT staff are on-site regularly. Retail locations, branch offices, industrial sites, and remote managed service clients are common use cases. The 5-year term makes practical sense for hardware installed as a fixed site appliance expected to run through the full product lifecycle without service changes.

Priority RMA and Your FortiCare Tier

Priority RMA is a separately purchased service that sits on top of your FortiCare contract. It requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base tier. Without Priority RMA, FortiCare Premium provides advanced hardware replacement under standard logistics without the 4-hour dispatch window or engineer dispatch. The table above shows where each FortiCare tier stands on hardware RMA and support response, as the baseline from which this service extends.
