FORTINET FC-10-F80FP-211-02-36 FortiGate 80F-POE Services and Subscriptions

FC-10-F80FP-211-02-36 Overview

Premium RMA 4-Hour Delivery provides a four-hour replacement hardware delivery add-on for an eligible covered device.

This SKU is a 3 years service entitlement for an existing FortiGate 80F-POE; it does not include hardware.

Order Composition and Delivery

This FC service code is delivered electronically against an appliance that must already exist. No chassis, power supply, antenna or replacement hardware is shipped as part of the line item. The order therefore needs the installed FortiGate serial number, current contract status, registered end customer, FortiCare account and desired start date. Check for gaps or overlaps with existing coverage before activation. A buyer who also needs a new firewall should select a hardware or BDL SKU as a separate purchasing decision.

Service Scope and Boundaries

Four-hour RMA delivery is appropriate only where Fortinet confirms coverage at the precise installation address and the customer can receive and install the replacement. Validate the qualifying support contract, service window, local depot coverage, site access and failed-unit return process. A four-hour delivery target is not equivalent to four-hour restoration, because configuration recovery and change control remain customer responsibilities. Unlike the engineer-assisted option, this code focuses on rapid hardware delivery. The customer must have qualified staff and a tested configuration-recovery procedure available at the site.

Verified Platform Facts

• FortiGate 80F-POE has eight GE PoE ports and two RJ45/SFP shared-media WAN pairs.
• Fortinet specifies a 96 W total PoE budget and a maximum load of 30 W on each PoE/+ port.
• The 80F series specification lists 1.4 Gbps IPS throughput, 1 Gbps NGFW throughput and 900 Mbps threat-protection throughput.

FortiGate 80F-POE provides eight GE PoE ports for powered edge devices and two shared-media RJ45/SFP WAN pairs. The official specification gives a 96 W total PoE budget and a 30 W maximum per PoE+ port, so an endpoint-by-endpoint power schedule is required before purchase. Unlike FG-81F, this model has no 128 GB onboard SSD. The quotation should separate appliance power requirements, PoE load, uplink media and any security or support term bundled with the chassis.

Acceptance testing should measure each powered endpoint, aggregate PoE demand and behavior during appliance or power-adapter recovery. Map the six general PoE ports and two default FortiLink PoE ports to the approved topology, then verify both shared WAN pairs and production inspection policies. Keep the F80FP service codes with the physical serial and PoE inventory. If the calculated load approaches 96 W, preserve design margin rather than relying on every endpoint remaining at its nominal draw.

Term and Procurement Fit

The thirty-six-month term reduces annual renewal events while keeping the contract inside a typical mid-life review window. Align the end date with the appliance support plan and security-policy review cycle. Reserve budget once for the initial three-year period, assign a contract owner, and schedule a formal service review around the middle of coverage. The review should test whether the deployment, registered owner and required controls still match the SKU before renewal planning begins in the final year.

For three-year coverage, record the full committed period in the asset register and avoid treating it as three separate annual licenses. Review registration after activation, verify service use during the first year, and perform a structured midpoint check during the second year. In the final year, compare remaining hardware life, planned site changes and current service requirements before requesting renewal pricing. Contract ownership must survive departmental budget changes because no annual purchase event will naturally remind the team.

Compatibility and Related Models

F80FP service codes belong to the PoE-equipped FortiGate 80F-POE. Standard 80F, 81F and DSL serials require their own platform-specific orderable codes.

Warranty, Activation and Shipping

Electronic entitlement delivery requires accurate end-customer, FortiCare account, registration region, appliance serial and contract status. No physical shipment is included.
