Fortinet FortiGate 3000F Secure RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F3K0F-301-02-36)

When a FortiGate 3000F chassis handles classified traffic or stores cryptographic material in embedded flash, the standard “return the defective unit” RMA process creates an unacceptable data-exposure window. The FC-10-F3K0F-301-02-36 closes that gap: a 3-year Secure RMA subscription that authorizes you to retain the failed device permanently while Fortinet ships an advance replacement, keeping all configuration data inside your facility.

What Secure RMA covers

Fortinet builds configuration state into solid-state media that is not field-replaceable without voiding the warranty. Secure RMA is designed for that reality. Under this contract, if the FortiGate 3000F fails, Fortinet ships a replacement unit before you need to send anything back, and the defective unit is never required to leave the premises. The service is active for 36 months from the activation date and applies to the specific 3000F serial number registered at enrollment.

Who needs this service

Secure RMA targets organizations that operate under strict data-retention mandates: financial institutions, government agencies, defense contractors, and healthcare providers where even a decommissioned appliance must stay on-site for chain-of-custody or regulatory reasons. If your security policy prohibits shipping hardware that may contain residual configuration data or cached credentials off premises, Secure RMA satisfies that requirement without sacrificing FortiCare’s advance-replacement speed.

Activation and delivery

This is an electronic subscription. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca delivers the entitlement key by email, typically within the same business day. You register the key against the FortiGate 3000F serial number on the Fortinet Support Portal, and coverage begins immediately on the activation date, running for 36 months. No physical shipment is required for the license; the advance-replacement hardware only ships if a covered failure occurs during the term.
