Fortinet FortiGate 30G 4-Hour On-Site RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-FG30G-212-02-36)

Three years is a practical planning horizon for most branch networks, and the FC-10-FG30G-212-02-36 matches it with Fortinet’s most capable Priority RMA tier for the FortiGate 30G. When a confirmed hardware failure occurs, a Fortinet courier and an on-site engineer reach your location within four hours. The engineer racks the replacement appliance, re-cables it, and leaves with the failed unit. No internal staff needs to be available for installation. For an edge location where the FortiGate 30G is the sole gateway, that four-hour ceiling and the three-year commitment cover the bulk of the device’s productive life.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-FG30G-212-02-36 is a Priority RMA add-on for the FortiGate 30G. It upgrades the hardware replacement speed available through your FortiCare contract from next-business-day to four hours, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and public holidays. The service covers hardware-related failures confirmed by Fortinet support; it does not cover software troubleshooting, which is handled through your FortiCare contract separately.

This add-on is valid for 3 years from activation and must be registered to a specific FortiGate 30G serial number.

Who Needs Priority RMA

Priority RMA makes sense for any FortiGate 30G that is the sole gateway for a branch, retail, or small office location. When that device fails, the site goes offline. Standard next-business-day RMA means a worst-case outage of 24 to 48 hours; Priority RMA cuts the hardware delivery window to four hours. Organizations with limited or no on-site IT staff also benefit from the on-site engineer option (the -212- tier), which handles the physical installation without requiring internal resources.

FortiCare Tiers and Priority RMA Eligibility

Priority RMA is an add-on to your FortiCare per-device support contract, not a standalone service. Only FortiCare Premium and FortiCare Elite contracts are eligible for Priority RMA add-ons; Essential-tier contracts are not. The table below summarizes the hardware support and response levels across tiers:

Activation and Delivery

DataCenter360.ca delivers the FC-10-FG30G-212-02-36 license electronically, typically within one business day of payment. No physical shipment is required. Activate the license through the Fortinet support portal at support.fortinet.com by registering it against your FortiGate 30G serial number. Once registered, Priority RMA coverage becomes active immediately. Keep your FortiCare Premium or Elite contract active on the same device; the Priority RMA add-on is linked to that contract.

Comparing This Service to Other RMA Options

Fortinet offers three Priority RMA tiers for the FortiGate 30G: Next Calendar Day delivery (-210-), 4-Hour Hardware Delivery (-211-), and 4-Hour Hardware Delivery with an On-Site Engineer (-212-). This 3-year add-on is the 4-Hour On-Site Priority RMA tier. If your technical staff can handle hardware installation, the -211- tier delivers the replacement unit faster than standard RMA at a lower price than the -212- on-site option. If your location has no on-site IT, the -212- engineer tier removes that dependency entirely.

For the broadest protection, combining Priority RMA with a UTP or Enterprise subscription bundle on the FortiGate 30G (when the device is purchased) puts both security services and hardware recovery under a single contract structure.
