Product description

A firewall replacement that ships overnight fits naturally into most IT recovery budgets. The FC-10-0081F-210-02-12 delivers one year of Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the FortiGate 81F, giving you advanced replacement hardware that arrives at your site by the next calendar day after an RMA case is approved.

What This Service Covers

The FC-10-0081F-210 series is a Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA add-on for the FortiGate 81F. When a hardware failure is confirmed, Fortinet ships a replacement unit from depot the same day so it arrives by the next calendar day. The failed unit is returned via prepaid shipping after the replacement arrives. This service requires FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same serial number to activate.

Who Uses Next-Day Priority RMA

Organizations that can absorb an overnight outage but cannot wait several days for a standard return-and-replace shipment make up the core buyer. Branch offices, smaller retail sites, and mid-market SMBs running the 81F at their perimeter often find that next-day delivery balances cost with acceptable recovery time. If a 4-hour window is needed instead, the -211- SKU covers that SLA.

RMA Levels Available for the FortiGate 81F

Hardware replacement speed depends on the FortiCare tier in place. This Priority RMA add-on is available to FortiCare Premium and Elite subscribers. Here is a summary of what each tier provides:

Essential Premium Elite
Hardware RMA Return & replace Advanced replacement Advanced replacement
Priority RMA add-on eligible
Critical-issue response Next business day 1 hour 15 minutes
Telephone support

Activation and Delivery

Purchase is fulfilled electronically. DataCenter360.ca sends the license key to your email within 0-1 business days of the order. Activation is completed through support.fortinet.com by linking the service to the FortiGate 81F serial number. Fortinet validates that an active FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription is present on the device before the Priority RMA SLA takes effect.

This Service vs. a Full Subscription Bundle

The -210- SKU adds hardware replacement speed only; it does not include FortiGuard security feeds, firmware access, or telephone support. Those are part of the FortiCare tier (Premium or Elite). If the device currently runs without an active FortiGuard subscription, the UTP bundle (FC-10-0081F-950-02-12) or Enterprise bundle (FC-10-0081F-809-02-12) pairs the qualifying FortiCare tier with security services in a single SKU.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and authorized reseller for this subscription. The 1-year term covers a single annual renewal cycle, which works well for organizations that prefer to reassess support coverage year to year. Orders deliver electronically within 0-1 business days.

What does Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA mean in practice?

After Fortinet approves the RMA case, they ship a replacement FortiGate 81F from the nearest depot the same day. The unit arrives at your registered site by the next calendar day. You then return the failed unit using the prepaid label provided with the replacement shipment.

Is FortiCare Premium required to use this service?

Yes. The Priority RMA add-on requires either FortiCare Premium (-247-) or FortiCare Elite on the same FortiGate 81F serial number. FortiCare Essential (-314-) does not qualify. If you are purchasing FortiCare and Priority RMA together, verify both cover the same term length to avoid a support gap.

How does this compare to the 4-Hour (-211-) Priority RMA SKU?

The -210- SKU delivers replacement hardware by the next calendar day; the -211- SKU commits to a 4-hour delivery from the nearest Fortinet depot. The -211- is faster and typically costs more. Choose -210- when overnight recovery is acceptable; choose -211- for sites where a half-day outage is not tolerable.

Can this service be purchased for any FortiGate 81F serial number?

Yes, provided the device has an active FortiCare Premium or Elite subscription. The Priority RMA add-on ties to the device serial number during activation on the Fortinet Support portal. Devices running only FortiCare Essential cannot use this service.

Is this subscription available worldwide?

The license is sold and delivered electronically worldwide. Fortinet’s next-calendar-day depot coverage does vary by country and region. Customers outside major North American or European metro areas should verify depot availability through Fortinet Support before relying on next-day delivery at a specific site.
