Fortinet FortiGate 50G-DSL Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 1-Year (FC-10-F50GD-210-02-12)

Short-term Priority RMA coverage can be the right call at a few specific points in a device’s lifecycle. The FC-10-F50GD-210-02-12 provides twelve months of Next Calendar Day Delivery Priority RMA for the FortiGate 50G-DSL. It is a practical option when an organization is evaluating accelerated hardware replacement before committing to a multi-year term, or when a contract cycle needs to be reset so renewals align cleanly going forward.

What This RMA Add-On Covers

FC-10-F50GD-210-02-12 requires the FortiGate 50G-DSL to hold an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. When a hardware failure is confirmed, Fortinet arranges courier delivery of a replacement unit arriving by the next calendar day, subject to local country cutoff times. The FortiCare RMA tier comparison below provides context on what coverage each support level includes by default:

When a 1-Year Term Makes Sense

The one-year term is useful in several situations:

• Sites piloting Next Calendar Day RMA for the first time before rolling it out across a larger fleet
• Deployments where the FortiGate 50G-DSL has fewer than two years of expected production life remaining
• Organizations that need to bridge a gap between the current FortiCare expiry and a planned multi-year renewal
• Procurement cycles that run on annual budgets, making a 1-year term the simplest approval path

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F50GD-210-02-12 is an electronic license. DataCenter360.ca delivers it within 0 to 1 business days of order. In the Fortinet Support Portal, associate the license with the serial number of the FortiGate 50G-DSL. The device must have FortiCare Premium or Elite active at the time of registration. Coverage runs for 12 months from activation.

1-Year Priority RMA vs Standard FortiCare

FortiCare Premium and Elite include next-business-day advanced replacement as a base feature. Fortinet pre-ships the replacement before the failed unit is returned, but that service only runs on business days. The FC-10-F50GD-210-02-12 upgrades that to calendar-day coverage, catching weekend and holiday failures within the same delivery target. If a one-year evaluation confirms the value, the FC-10-F50GD-210-02-36 or -60 locks in coverage for a longer term at a lower annualized cost. For faster, four-hour response needs, the FC-10-F50GD-211-02-12 serves that tier.
