Over a five-year term, this 4-Hour Priority RMA guarantees replacement hardware for the FortiGate 401F-DC within four hours of an approved fault. It is aimed at mission-critical deployments that want the fastest hardware turnaround Fortinet ships without also dispatching a technician to the rack.

What the 5-Year 4-Hour Priority RMA covers

SKU FC-10-FD4H1-211-02-60 is a Priority RMA add-on for the FortiGate 401F-DC. It delivers a replacement FortiGate 401F-DC to your site within four hours of an approved RMA in covered service areas. RMA runs for five years from activation and applies only to the appliance it is registered against, replacing the standard return-and-repair process with a guaranteed, faster hardware swap so a failed firewall does not sit as a gap in your security posture.

RMA and support levels for the FortiGate 401F-DC

Priority RMA sits on top of a FortiCare contract, so the response and replacement guarantees you get depend on the FortiCare tier active on the device. This summary shows how the levels compare.

Priority RMA add-ons such as this one require FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite. They are not available on FortiCare Essential, which uses standard return-and-replace handling.

Who needs this service

The FortiGate 401F-DC is a data center class firewall, and the sites that run it usually cannot absorb a multi-day hardware outage. This RMA level fits organizations that treat the appliance as critical infrastructure and want a defined, contractual replacement time rather than best-effort logistics after a failure.

Activation and delivery

After checkout, DataCenter360.ca registers the entitlement to your FortiGate 401F-DC serial number and confirms it electronically, typically within one business day. Coverage begins on activation. If a hardware fault is later approved by Fortinet support, the replacement is dispatched under this service level, provided your site falls inside the applicable coverage area.

One service line versus the wider contract

This SKU covers hardware replacement speed only. It does not include firmware entitlement, FortiGuard security updates, or technical support on its own, which come from the FortiCare and FortiGuard subscriptions on the appliance. Keep the RMA aligned with an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract so every part of your coverage expires on the same schedule.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

A five-year 4-Hour RMA keeps the FortiGate 401F-DC on the quickest hardware-only replacement track for its entire life, and DataCenter360.ca provisions it electronically as a Fortinet Select Partner. Coverage assumes an active FortiCare Premium or Elite term and a location inside a four-hour delivery zone, both of which we will verify with you.
