FORTINET FC-10-F80FP-212-02-12 FortiGate 80F-POE Services and Subscriptions

FC-10-F80FP-212-02-12 Overview

Premium RMA 4-Hour Delivery with Engineer provides four-hour replacement delivery with an onsite engineer for an eligible covered device.

This SKU is a 1 year 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

This RMA option combines a four-hour replacement-delivery objective with onsite engineering for an eligible location. Before purchase, verify geographic availability, engineer access, safety requirements, approved maintenance contacts and the underlying FortiCare coverage. Define whether the onsite scope includes only hardware replacement or additional recovery steps. It remains a support add-on and must not be described as continuous managed service or bundled threat protection. Compared with delivery-only four-hour RMA, this option adds an onsite engineer. Confirm that the added onsite scope addresses a real staffing constraint and is officially available at the destination.

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 twelve-month term suits annual budgets and near-term technology reviews. Record the activation date and schedule renewal ownership early because coverage ends after one contract year. Check the contract in the first operating quarter, confirm consumption and service fit at mid-year, then begin the renewal or replacement decision well before expiration. This cadence preserves flexibility when the appliance may move, the service scope is still being proven, or funding cannot be committed across several fiscal years.

For annual coverage, retain the quotation, activation confirmation and expiration date in the current fiscal-year purchasing file. At roughly ninety days before expiry, check appliance ownership, service use, open support cases and next-year budget approval. Decide whether to renew the same service, move to a broader bundle, reduce scope or replace the firewall. Escalate unresolved registration errors early; an annual contract leaves little time to correct account ownership before the next order.

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.
