Fortinet FortiGate 50G Priority RMA, Next Calendar Day Delivery, 5-Year (FC-10-GT50G-210-02-60)

When a FortiGate 50G fails at the edge of your network, the follow-up question is how fast replacement hardware arrives. Standard FortiCare Premium already includes next-business-day Advanced Replacement, which works for most deployments. But for sites where a full calendar day makes a measurable difference, the Priority RMA add-on compresses that window. FC-10-GT50G-210-02-60 is the five-year version of that add-on for the FortiGate 50G, valid for the full length of a typical firewall deployment cycle.

What This Service Covers

Next Calendar Day Delivery means Fortinet ships a replacement unit the same day a hardware failure is confirmed. The courier delivers it the next calendar day, counting weekends and public holidays, not just business days. The replacement unit ships before Fortinet receives the defective hardware back, matching the Advanced Replacement model already included with FortiCare Premium and Elite but on a faster delivery schedule.

This is an add-on service, not a standalone support contract. It requires an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite subscription on the same FortiGate 50G serial number. FortiCare Essential subscribers are not eligible for Priority RMA add-ons.

Who Needs This Add-On

Organizations that benefit most from this service are those where the FortiGate 50G is the sole security gateway at a location with no hardware redundancy and no tolerance for a multi-day failure window. Retail branch offices with fixed operating hours, MSPs holding uptime SLAs for customer sites, and regulated environments with documented recovery-time objectives are the common buyers.

If the FortiGate 50G runs alongside a standby HA unit, the standard FortiCare Premium next-business-day RMA is usually sufficient. This add-on is for active-only deployments where the recovery clock starts at the moment of failure.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-GT50G-210-02-60 is delivered electronically. After purchase, a license key is registered to the FortiGate 50G serial number through the Fortinet Support portal at support.fortinet.com. Coverage begins on the activation date. Aligning the 5-year term with the expiry of your FortiCare Premium contract avoids gaps in coverage. The service applies worldwide, subject to Fortinet’s country-level RMA availability; check Fortinet’s service availability page if your device is outside North America.

Priority RMA vs. Standard FortiCare Coverage

FortiCare Essential uses return-and-replace RMA only and cannot be upgraded with Priority add-ons. Both Premium and Elite include standard next-business-day Advanced Replacement; this add-on upgrades that timeline to next-calendar-day delivery.
