What 4-Hour Hardware Delivery RMA Covers

The FC-10-W50GD-211-02-12 entitles the registered FortiWiFi 50G-DSL to 4-Hour Hardware Delivery Priority RMA for 12 months from the activation date. When Fortinet support confirms a hardware failure, a replacement unit is dispatched from the nearest depot to arrive at the site within four hours.

This add-on requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base support plan. The table below shows the tier structure for context:

Who Needs This Service

Annual 4-Hour Hardware Delivery RMA suits organizations with annual IT procurement cycles, MSPs managing client devices on one-year contracts, or deployments where the FortiWiFi 50G-DSL is used in a location for a fixed 12-month period. It is also a cost-effective entry point for sites that want to experience the four-hour hardware replacement commitment before stepping up to a 3- or 5-year term. For permanent installations, the longer terms typically offer a lower effective annual cost.

Activation and Delivery

Purchase results in an electronic license key delivered by DataCenter360.ca, typically the same business day. Register the key in the Fortinet support portal against the FortiWiFi 50G-DSL serial number to begin the 12-month entitlement. The registration can be done immediately after delivery. Renewal should be planned before the 12-month term expires to avoid a gap in 4-Hour Hardware Delivery coverage.

4-Hour Hardware Delivery vs. Other Options

The 210 series (Next Calendar Day Priority RMA) ships a replacement to arrive the next calendar day at a lower price point. The 212 series (4-Hour Onsite) adds an engineer on-site within four hours for sites where local staff are unavailable for hardware installation. Secure RMA (301 series) addresses compliance environments requiring on-site storage destruction. The FC-10-W50GD-211-02-12 is the annual version of the fastest hardware-only RMA option in the FortiCare add-on portfolio.
