FC-10-0501E-311-02-DD is a legacy 8x5 FortiCare support entitlement for one existing FortiGate 501E. It is a support contract, not a firewall appliance, security-service bundle, replacement unit, managed service or guaranteed after-hours response.
For the 501E, define who collects local logs, configuration revisions and packet evidence before a support case is escalated. Exercise a simulated intermittent problem: capture a bounded diagnostic window, upload redacted artifacts, receive a recommended test and store the result locally. The runbook must prevent long captures or full backups from being shared without data-owner approval.
The 501E decision separates technical support from evidence governance. Security approves sensitive log disclosure, network operations runs diagnostics, and the change owner decides whether a recommendation enters production. Contract coverage alone does not grant unlimited access to retained data.
The suffix identifies a variable-duration DD ordering record. For DD records, contract dates remain quote-dependent. Confirm registration, service start and end dates, covered support hours, product lifecycle and the current FortiCare successor tier before renewal.
