Fortinet FortiGate 50G Priority RMA, Next Calendar Day Delivery, 3-Year (FC-10-GT50G-210-02-36)

Three years is a common contract horizon for mid-cycle FortiGate refreshes and managed-service agreements. FC-10-GT50G-210-02-36 layers a Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA add-on onto an existing FortiCare Premium or Elite contract for the FortiGate 50G, covering the most demanding replacement-timeline requirement for any single failure event over a three-year window. For teams that plan hardware refresh around that same cycle, the 3-year term is a natural fit.

What This Service Covers

When Fortinet confirms a hardware failure on a covered FortiGate 50G, they dispatch a replacement unit the same day. The courier delivers it the next calendar day, including weekends and public holidays. The failed unit does not have to be returned before the replacement ships, following the same Advanced Replacement logic as standard FortiCare Premium but on a tighter delivery schedule.

This is an add-on service that layers on top of FortiCare Premium or Elite. FortiCare Essential subscribers are not eligible for Priority RMA add-ons; a minimum of FortiCare Premium is required.

Who Needs This Add-On

The 3-year term suits organizations that are mid-deployment or working within a refresh cycle aligned to a three-year hardware or managed-service agreement. Branch-office deployments where the FortiGate 50G is the sole perimeter device benefit the most. If staff cannot install the replacement unit on-site without assistance, the 4-Hour Engineer on-Site variant is a better fit; if data residency requirements prevent returning the defective unit, Secure RMA (FC-10-GT50G-301) is the right choice.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-GT50G-210-02-36 is delivered electronically within 0-1 business days of purchase. The license key is registered to the FortiGate 50G serial number through the Fortinet Support portal at support.fortinet.com. Coverage starts on the activation date, so registering promptly is important. If your FortiCare Premium or Elite contract expires before the 3-year Priority RMA term, you will need to renew the base contract to keep the add-on eligible for use.

Priority RMA vs. Standard FortiCare Coverage

Standard FortiCare Premium and Elite include next-business-day Advanced Replacement. This add-on changes the delivery commitment to next-calendar-day, covering weekends and holidays. The table below summarizes what each FortiCare tier includes and where Priority RMA applies.
