Fortinet FortiGate 51G-5G Next-Day Priority RMA, 5-Year (FC-10-F51G5-210-02-60)

Five years of hardware coverage is a long commitment, and the replacement policy should match the horizon. The FC-10-F51G5-210-02-60 is a 5-year Next Calendar Day Priority RMA subscription for the FortiGate 51G-5G: when a hardware failure is confirmed, a replacement is dispatched to arrive by the following calendar day, whether that day falls on a weekday or a long weekend.

What Next Calendar Day Priority RMA Covers

The service code -210- represents Fortinet’s Next Calendar Day delivery tier. Once a hardware failure is confirmed through the Fortinet Support Portal, a replacement FortiGate 51G-5G unit is dispatched with logistics committed to arriving by the next calendar day. Coverage runs 365 days a year, so a Saturday afternoon confirmation yields a Sunday delivery attempt. The 5-year term locks in that coverage across the full hardware lifecycle without annual renewal management.

FortiCare Support Tiers and Priority RMA Eligibility

Next Calendar Day Priority RMA is a paid add-on for FortiGate 51G-5G devices covered by FortiCare Premium or Elite. Devices on FortiCare Essential are not eligible.

Who Purchases a 5-Year Term

A 5-year RMA subscription suits organizations planning infrastructure refreshes on 5-year cycles, IT managers looking to simplify contract administration by aligning RMA terms with capital investment periods, and those who want to lock in current pricing for the life of the hardware. Sites where next-day replacement satisfies the recovery time objective — rather than same-day 4-hour courier — will find this the most cost-effective Priority RMA tier for long-term deployment.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F51G5-210-02-60 is an electronic license delivered within 0-1 business days. Activate through the Fortinet Support Portal by associating the subscription key with the FortiGate 51G-5G device record under your FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. The 5-year coverage term begins from the activation date.

This Service vs. a Full Subscription Bundle

Priority RMA accelerates hardware replacement only — it doesn’t add FortiGuard security content to the device. Organizations that also need IPS, antivirus, or web filtering should consider a FortiGate 51G-5G UTP or Enterprise bundle, which combines FortiGuard security subscriptions with FortiCare support. Adding the Priority RMA on top of a bundle gives the complete stack: security subscriptions, premium support, and next-day replacement hardware delivery.
