Fortinet FortiGate 80F Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-0080F-210-02-60)

Hardware failures don’t announce themselves. When a FortiGate 80F goes down at the perimeter, every hour offline means exposure. The Priority RMA service (FC-10-0080F-210-02-60) addresses that directly: a 5-year contract that replaces next calendar day delivery for any hardware failure, so your team isn’t hunting for a spare in a crisis.

What Priority RMA Covers

FC-10-0080F-210-02-60 adds Next Calendar Day Delivery to the standard FortiCare hardware replacement process. Without this add-on, a defective FortiGate 80F follows the standard return-and-replace process, which can take several business days. With Priority RMA active, Fortinet ships a replacement unit the next calendar day after a case is opened and the defect is confirmed. Coverage runs for 5 years from the contract start 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 Uses Priority RMA on the FortiGate 80F

The FortiGate 80F is a common edge appliance in mid-size branch offices, retail locations, and remote sites. These deployments typically don’t carry spare firewalls on-site, which means any hardware failure becomes a hard outage until a replacement arrives. Priority RMA is well suited for organizations where the 80F is the sole internet gateway at a location, or where downtime recovery time objectives are measured in hours rather than days.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-0080F-210-02-60 is an electronic license delivered to your email. There’s no physical media. After purchase, you register the license against the FortiGate 80F serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal. Delivery typically takes 0 to 1 business day from DataCenter360.ca.

Priority RMA and Your FortiCare Contract

This service requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same device. FortiCare Premium is the baseline for Priority RMA eligibility — if your 80F currently runs on FortiCare Essential, this add-on won’t activate until you upgrade the underlying support tier. If you’re evaluating the total support cost, FC-10-0080F-247-02-12 (FortiCare Premium, 1-Year) is a natural companion purchase. Alternatively, the FortiGate 80F UTP or Enterprise subscription bundles include FortiCare Premium and FortiGuard security services in a single SKU, which may be a more efficient path if you’re also updating your security subscriptions.
