Fortinet FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE Next-Day Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-F51GP-210-02-36)

Hardware failures at a remote branch or single-site office can halt operations for hours when replacement logistics aren’t pre-arranged. The FC-10-F51GP-210-02-36 changes that equation: when the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE fails, Fortinet ships a replacement the same business day and it arrives at your door the next calendar day, including weekends and holidays.

What the Priority RMA Add-On Covers

This is a 3-year add-on entitlement that pairs with an active FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite contract on the same device. Once a hardware fault is confirmed through Fortinet support, an advanced replacement unit ships before the defective device is returned. Standard FortiCare includes next-business-day RMA; Priority RMA accelerates that to next-calendar-day delivery and extends coverage to weekends and public holidays.

FortiCare Essential contracts are not eligible. The Priority RMA add-on requires Premium or Elite as the base support tier.

Who Needs Next-Day RMA Coverage

Priority RMA fits locations where the FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE is the sole security gateway, with no local spare unit available. Think retail branches, small offices, or remote sites managed from a central NOC. A Friday failure without Priority RMA could mean the site is offline until Tuesday morning; with it, the replacement arrives Saturday.

Organizations running 24/7 operations or with contractual uptime commitments to their customers also find next-calendar-day delivery essential, even when a hot standby is in place, because restoring the HA pair promptly matters.

Activation and Electronic Delivery

This subscription is delivered electronically, no physical media involved. After purchase from DataCenter360.ca, Fortinet registers the entitlement against your FortiGate 51G-SFP-PoE serial number through the Fortinet Support Portal (support.fortinet.com). Coverage starts once both the Priority RMA entitlement and the underlying FortiCare Premium or Elite contract are active on the same device.

Activation details are delivered by email within 0–1 business days of your order.

Priority RMA vs. Your Current FortiCare Coverage

FortiCare Premium already includes advanced replacement on a next-business-day basis, which covers most scenarios. The Priority RMA add-on targets the gap: failures that happen outside business hours on a Thursday, Friday, or before a long weekend. Purchasing a 3-year Priority RMA term alongside a 3-year FortiCare Premium keeps both entitlements co-termed, reducing annual renewal overhead and typically saving compared to three separate 1-year renewals.
