Fortinet FortiGate 80F Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-0080F-210-02-12)

FC-10-0080F-210-02-12 converts the standard FortiGate 80F hardware replacement process into next calendar day delivery for one year. It’s the shortest available term, suitable for annual IT planning cycles, pilot deployments, or situations where you need to evaluate Priority RMA coverage before committing to a longer contract.

What This Service Adds

Under the standard FortiCare return-and-replace process, a defective FortiGate 80F requires you to ship the unit back before Fortinet sends a replacement, adding transit time to an already stressful outage. Priority RMA flips this: once the defect is confirmed, a replacement ships the next calendar day. FC-10-0080F-210-02-12 provides this upgrade for one year from the contract activation date.

FortiCare Support Tiers and RMA Coverage

The table below shows how hardware replacement options differ across FortiCare contract tiers. Priority RMA upgrades are available under FortiCare Premium and Elite.

Who Buys Priority RMA on a 1-Year Term

A 1-year term makes sense in a few situations: annual IT budget cycles where support contracts are reviewed each fiscal year, branch locations that are still being evaluated for long-term infrastructure investment, or cases where the FortiGate 80F has a few years of usage behind it and you’re aligning support to the device’s expected remaining lifespan.

Delivery and Activation

This is a software license with no physical shipment. DataCenter360.ca delivers the activation code by email within 0 to 1 business day of purchase. You register the license in the Fortinet Support Portal against your FortiGate 80F serial number to activate the Priority RMA service.

One License vs. a Subscription Bundle

If your FortiGate 80F also needs FortiGuard security services refreshed, a UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle (which includes FortiCare Premium) may deliver better total value than purchasing Priority RMA and security subscriptions separately. If you already have an active, valid FortiGuard subscription and only need to add hardware replacement coverage, FC-10-0080F-210-02-12 is the targeted option.
