Fortinet FortiGate 80F 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-0080F-211-02-60)

When the FortiGate 80F is at a location where local staff can handle hardware installation but downtime cannot wait for a next-day shipment, the 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA service fills the gap. FC-10-0080F-211-02-60 provides that coverage for five years: if hardware fails, a courier delivers the replacement unit to the registered site within four hours of dispatch, weekends and holidays included.

What the 5-Year 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Service Covers

This is a Priority RMA add-on for FortiCare Premium or Elite subscribers on the FortiGate 80F. During the five-year term, when TAC confirms a hardware failure, Fortinet dispatches a replacement unit via courier for delivery within four hours at the registered location. Installation is handled by the customer; if on-site engineer assistance is needed, the -212- service covers that. Coverage applies weekends and holidays throughout the five-year contract.

FortiCare Premium or Elite must be active on the same device for this add-on to apply. Essential does not qualify.

Why Choose the 5-Year Term

Five-year coverage aligns with infrastructure deployments that are planned for the long term. It eliminates four annual renewal events, which reduces administrative overhead and the risk of a coverage gap from a missed renewal. Organizations that budget on three-to-five-year cycles often prefer this term to keep service expenses predictable. For remote or branch office deployments where the FortiGate 80F is a critical path device, locking in the 4-hour delivery commitment over five years provides consistent assurance without year-to-year renegotiation.

FortiCare Support Tiers at a Glance

This add-on requires FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table compares the three base support tiers on the criteria relevant to RMA planning:

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-0080F-211-02-60 is an electronic license available worldwide. You receive an activation code after purchase and register it in the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) against the FortiGate 80F serial number. Ensure the FortiCare Premium or Elite contract is active on the device before registering. E-delivery from DataCenter360.ca is typically completed within 0 to 1 business days.

One Service vs. the Full Bundle

The 4-hour hardware delivery add-on is focused on replacement speed. It does not include security subscriptions or an on-site engineer. For bundled NGFW protection and security services alongside hardware coverage, the Enterprise or UTP hardware bundles for the FortiGate 80F include FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard services in a single SKU. Priority RMA can then be added as an additional layer.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner with the full FortiGate 80F service catalog available for direct purchase. Five-year licenses do not require a separate quote.
