Fortinet FortiGate 901G Next-Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-FG9H1-210-02-12)

A one-year Priority RMA is the flexible way to add advance hardware replacement to a FortiGate 901G without committing to a multi-year term. It is useful when a project timeline is uncertain, or when you want to align the RMA renewal to an annual budget rather than a longer contract.

What this Priority RMA service covers

This line activates Fortinet Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA on a FortiGate 901G for one year. When a covered appliance fails, Fortinet ships a replacement unit for next-calendar-day delivery instead of the standard return-and-replace path, so a dead firewall does not sit at the edge of your network while a unit travels back and forth. It is an add-on to FortiCare: the appliance must already carry an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract for the Priority RMA entitlement to apply.

Who needs it

The 901G is a high-throughput data-center and campus firewall, and for most teams running one it is a single point in the traffic path. Priority RMA suits sites where a next-business-day return window is too slow: colocation racks, regional data centers, and branch cores that cannot wait days for replacement hardware. If you already keep a cold spare on the shelf, standard RMA may be enough; if you do not, this is the line that keeps mean-time-to-replace measured in a day rather than a week.

How FortiCare RMA tiers compare

Priority RMA is the advance-shipping upgrade that sits on top of FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table shows where the base tiers land and where the Priority add-on applies.

Activation and delivery

Delivery is electronic. After checkout you receive the registration details to attach the contract to your FortiGate 901G serial number in the Fortinet support portal, which sets the coverage window and the advance-replacement entitlement. Because the license moves as data, there is no hardware to ship for the service itself and it can be registered from anywhere in the world.

One service line vs. the full support stack

Priority RMA covers hardware logistics, not threat protection. It pairs with, and does not replace, your FortiCare support level and any FortiGuard security subscriptions on the same appliance. If you are building coverage from scratch, decide the FortiCare tier first, then add Priority RMA where replacement speed matters.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

The annual term keeps things simple: renew each year alongside the FortiCare contract, or step up to a three- or five-year Priority RMA once the 901G is a settled part of the estate. DataCenter360.ca is a Fortinet Select Partner and handles registration against your serial number after checkout.
