Fortinet FortiGate 80F-DSL Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-F80FD-210-02-60)

Hardware failures don’t schedule themselves. When a FortiGate 80F-DSL goes down at a DSL-connected site, every additional day offline is a day without internet access. FC-10-F80FD-210-02-60 provides five years of next-calendar-day hardware delivery Priority RMA, so replacement is already on the way before a business day ends.

What Priority RMA Covers

FC-10-F80FD-210-02-60 is a Priority RMA add-on for active FortiCare Premium or Elite subscribers on the FortiGate 80F-DSL. During the five-year term, when TAC confirms a hardware failure, Fortinet ships a replacement unit the next calendar day after dispatch is approved. Standard hardware replacement under FortiCare Essential follows a return-and-replace process that can take several business days. This add-on shortens that to next-day delivery. Installation is handled by the customer or local staff.

FortiCare Premium or Elite must be active on the same device. Essential does not qualify.

Next-calendar-day Priority RMA is a FortiCare Premium and Elite add-on. The table compares base FortiCare tiers on RMA-relevant criteria:

Why Choose 5-Year Coverage

A 5-year contract removes four annual renewal events, reduces administrative overhead, and locks in the current service rate for the life of most deployment cycles. For the FortiGate 80F-DSL specifically, which is often deployed in long-running branch or office setups, the 5-year term ensures coverage aligns with the device rather than requiring annual coordination. It also simplifies contract management when multiple units are in the field.

Who Uses This Service

The next-calendar-day service is appropriate for sites where the FortiGate 80F-DSL is the sole WAN gateway and where a full day of downtime, while disruptive, is tolerable. It offers meaningful improvement over standard return-and-replace timelines at a lower cost than the 4-hour options. Offices in markets with reliable next-day courier service, small branches, and retail sites with basic internet dependencies are common deployments.

Activation and Delivery

The license is delivered electronically worldwide. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca provides the contract key. It is registered against the FortiGate 80F-DSL serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal, and coverage begins on the registration date. The 5-year term runs continuously from that date without gaps.
