Fortinet FortiGate 50G-DSL 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-F50GD-211-02-60)

A five-year Priority RMA commitment on the FortiGate 50G-DSL means every hardware failure over that period gets a replacement unit on-site within four hours by courier, with no annual renewal to track. The FC-10-F50GD-211-02-60 is designed for stable branch deployments where the FG-50G-DSL provides a DSL-connected perimeter for the foreseeable future, and where the cost of multi-hour outages justifies locking in the fastest hardware replacement tier for the device’s full lifecycle.

What the 5-Year 4-Hour Priority RMA Covers

This add-on attaches to a FortiGate 50G-DSL running FortiCare Premium or Elite and replaces the standard next-business-day advanced replacement with a four-hour courier-dispatched response. Coverage runs continuously for five years and includes weekends and holidays (subject to local availability). The table below summarizes how RMA coverage differs by FortiCare tier:

Who Chooses a 5-Year Term

The five-year Priority RMA is suited to organizations that treat their FortiGate 50G-DSL as a fixed infrastructure asset for the next refresh cycle. Common profiles:

• Mid-sized branches where the FG-50G-DSL handles the primary DSL WAN and no redundant hardware is stocked locally
• Managed service providers whose customer contracts span five years and require documented SLA coverage
• Budget-conscious deployments that benefit from a single multi-year purchase rather than annual renewals
• Sites where downtime directly affects revenue and where four-hour hardware replacement is a contractual requirement

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F50GD-211-02-60 is an electronic license delivered within 0 to 1 business days of purchase through DataCenter360.ca. Activation is done via the Fortinet Support Portal, attached to the specific FortiGate 50G-DSL serial number. The device must have an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract before the Priority RMA add-on can be registered. Once active, coverage begins immediately for the full five-year term.

4-Hour Courier vs Standard FortiCare RMA

FortiCare Premium and Elite both include next-business-day advanced replacement as standard: Fortinet ships the replacement before the failed unit is returned, and it arrives the following business day. For locations where a full business day offline is tolerable, that baseline may be sufficient. The FC-10-F50GD-211-02-60 reduces the window to four hours and covers weekends and holidays, which standard next-business-day service typically does not. If on-site installation support is also needed, the FC-10-F50GD-212-02-60 adds an engineer to the response.
