FC-10-0500E-284-02-DD is a per-device FortiCare Elite support entitlement for one existing FortiGate 500E. It is an electronic service code; it does not include the firewall appliance, a FortiGuard security bundle or a separately expedited RMA option.
The DD suffix on this page does not establish a fixed number of months. Preserve the authorized quote, exact start and end dates, current contract expiry, registration region and any co-termination terms. Match token 0500E to the diskless 500E serial and verify the external logging and recovery owners before accepting the quote-defined support dates.
The ordering token 0500E maps this support SKU to a diskless E-series campus firewall. Document the HA and management links, copper and SFP production interfaces, both 10Gb SFP+ handoffs, external log destination and exact serial. Keep this 500E record separate from 501E procedures: the diskless model depends on central evidence systems and must not inherit unsupported local-media assumptions.
Route Elite alerts to the campus network owner and security operations team, and preserve a tested off-box configuration backup. The case checklist should identify critical campus services, failover order and the person who validates central logging after recovery; portal visibility alone does not prove traffic and evidence paths are restored.
Fortinet describes Elite as per-product support with 24x7 follow-the-sun engagement, enhanced response targets, Elite Portal access, automated monitoring and alerts, and security-hygiene recommendations for eligible FortiGate products. Firmware access and replacement remain governed by registration, diagnosis, current service terms and geography.
