Product description

Running a FortiGate 401F-DC in a data center or power-sensitive environment means continuity is a baseline requirement. The FC-10-FD4H1-284-02-60 locks in five years of FortiCare Elite — Fortinet’s highest support tier — so your DC-powered unit stays covered with 15-minute P1 response, Priority RMA, and the Elite monitoring portal through the full term. Five years of Elite eliminates annual renewal cycles and secures a single per-year cost for the duration.

What FortiCare Elite Covers

FortiCare Elite is the top-tier Fortinet support subscription, combining the fastest critical response time with Priority RMA and the Elite portal. Below is how it compares to the lower tiers:

FortiCare Support Tier Comparison

This product is the Elite tier — Fortinet’s highest FortiCare level.

Support Feature Essential Premium Elite
Critical-issue (P1) response Next business day 1 hour 15 minutes
Telephone support Business hours 24×7 24×7
Hardware RMA Return-to-depot Return-to-depot Return-to-depot
Priority RMA add-on eligibility Included
Firmware, tools & support portal
Extended LTS support & Elite monitoring portal

Who Chooses the 5-Year Term

The 5-year FortiCare Elite term is common in environments where the FortiGate 401F-DC is a long-term infrastructure component — colocation deployments, core switching perimeters, or enterprise WAN edges where hardware isn’t refreshed annually. Locking in five years of Elite support reduces procurement overhead and provides a predictable cost across budget cycles.

Activation & Delivery

The subscription key is delivered electronically, typically within one business day of order confirmation. Activate it through the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com) using your FortiGate 401F-DC’s serial number. No hardware return or on-site service call is required for activation.

FortiCare Elite vs Enterprise or UTP Bundles

Enterprise bundles (FC-10-FD4H1-809-02-xx) combine FortiGuard services with FortiCare Premium, not Elite. If you need FortiGuard coverage alongside Elite-level support, the common approach is to run an Enterprise or UTP bundle for FortiGuard and add a FortiCare Elite upgrade (FC-10-FD4H1-204-02-xx) on top. Alternatively, this standalone Elite subscription replaces a Premium-only contract where no FortiGuard services are required.

Buying from DataCenter360.ca

DataCenter360.ca sources FortiCare subscriptions directly from Fortinet as an authorized Select Partner. The 5-year key is delivered electronically, with activation typically completed within one business day of purchase. Reach out if you’re standardizing Elite coverage across multiple FortiGate units or need a multi-device renewal quote.

What does FortiCare Elite include for the FortiGate 401F-DC?
Elite provides 15-minute P1 critical response, 24×7 telephone support, return-to-depot RMA with Priority RMA included, the Elite monitoring portal, and extended LTS firmware access. See the tier comparison table above for a full breakdown.

What does “FD4H1” indicate in the SKU?
FD4H1 is the Fortinet internal model code for the FortiGate 401F-DC — the DC power supply variant of the 401F. This subscription is registered to that specific hardware unit and cannot be applied to a standard FortiGate 401F (0401F).

Can I switch to a shorter term at renewal?
Not mid-contract. When the 5-year term expires, you can renew with a 1-year (FC-10-FD4H1-284-02-12) or 3-year (FC-10-FD4H1-284-02-36) subscription to match your needs at that point.

Does this cover FortiGuard threat-intelligence services?
No. FortiCare covers hardware support, telephone access, RMA, and the Elite portal. FortiGuard services (IPS, antivirus, web filtering, DNS filtering, etc.) are purchased separately under FortiGuard subscription SKUs.

Can I combine FortiCare Elite with an Enterprise bundle?
Yes. Enterprise bundles include FortiCare Premium, not Elite. Running an Enterprise bundle alongside a FortiCare Premium-to-Elite upgrade (FC-10-FD4H1-204-02-xx) gives you both full FortiGuard coverage and Elite-level support on the same FortiGate 401F-DC.
