Product description

Three years covers the core of a FortiWiFi 31G’s operational life. After the initial deployment settles, you want hardware recovery speed locked in without committing to a 5-year term if a refresh might come sooner. FC-10-WF31G-211-02-36 does that: a replacement unit dispatched within 4 hours of a confirmed failure, your team handles the install, and the service stays in place for 36 months without annual renewal overhead.

What 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA Covers

FC-10-WF31G-211-02-36 is a 3-year Priority RMA add-on for the FortiWiFi 31G. It provides:

  • Hardware dispatch within 4 hours of a confirmed RMA request via the Fortinet Support Portal.
  • Advanced replacement: Fortinet ships the replacement unit before receiving the failed one back.
  • No onsite engineer is included. Your staff or local IT resource performs the physical installation.
  • Coverage spans 3 years (36 months) from the activation date.
  • Requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite base contract. Not eligible under FortiCare Essential.

Who This Service Suits

The 3-year 4-hour delivery tier fits organizations with on-site or field IT staff who can perform a firewall swap without a Fortinet engineer present. Branch networks, distributed retail environments, and managed service providers maintaining their own field technicians are common users. The 3-year term is well-suited to deployments that are established but not close to a hardware refresh: long enough to eliminate annual renewal tracking, short enough to avoid over-committing if the device is replaced at year four or five. For remote or unstaffed sites where no local IT is available, the onsite -212- tier is the better choice.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-WF31G-211-02-36 is an electronic license delivered within 0 to 1 business days of your order. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal against the FortiWiFi 31G serial number. The 3-year term begins on the activation date. No physical media is sent. Available to buyers in any country.

One Service vs. a Full Bundle

Hardware replacement speed and security content are separate license categories with Fortinet. This service ensures fast hardware dispatch; it does not provide FortiGuard threat feeds, IPS updates, or application control. Those come from a subscription bundle. If the FortiWiFi 31G does not carry an active UTP or Enterprise bundle, pairing this 3-year RMA add-on with a 3-year bundle keeps all licenses on the same renewal date and avoids gaps in either hardware or security coverage.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca is an authorized Fortinet Select Partner with worldwide electronic license fulfillment. If you want to add this RMA service alongside a FortiCare Premium or subscription renewal, we can include both on a single purchase order. Provide the FortiWiFi 31G serial number and the active contract details and we will confirm the right combination before your order is placed.

What does the 4-hour window actually cover?
The 4-hour commitment is measured from the time Fortinet support confirms the RMA request through the Support Portal. That is when the clock starts on hardware dispatch, not from when you report the failure. Physical delivery time to your site depends on carrier routing and the nearest Fortinet distribution point. Confirm expected logistics timelines with Fortinet for your region before treating this as a delivery-time SLA.

Why choose 3-year instead of 1-year or 5-year?
Three years eliminates annual renewals and keeps costs stable through the active phase of the FortiWiFi 31G’s lifecycle. The 1-year (FC-10-WF31G-211-02-12) is better if there is a realistic chance of hardware replacement within 24 months. The 5-year (FC-10-WF31G-211-02-60) reduces the per-year cost further but is most appropriate when the device will run its full lifecycle. Most stable branch deployments land in the 3-year bracket.

Do I have to return the failed unit?
Yes. Under Priority RMA (including -211-), Fortinet ships the replacement as an advanced replacement before receiving the failed unit. You return the failed device using Fortinet’s provided return documentation. If your environment prohibits hardware returns for compliance or security reasons, the Secure RMA service (FC-10-WF31G-301-02-XX) allows on-site destruction of the failed unit instead.

Is onsite engineer support included?
No. FC-10-WF31G-211-02-36 delivers hardware only. Your team handles the physical installation. The FC-10-WF31G-212-02-36 tier adds an onsite Fortinet engineer to perform the swap for environments without qualified local staff.

Can this be added to a device that currently has FortiCare Essential?
No. Priority RMA add-ons require FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device. If the FortiWiFi 31G is currently covered by Essential, the base contract must be upgraded first. Contact DataCenter360.ca with the serial number and we can identify the upgrade options and pricing before you commit to the RMA add-on.
