Fortinet FortiGate 3000F DC Secure RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-FD3K0-301-02-36)

When a FortiGate 3000F-DC fails in a regulated or high-security environment, the standard return process creates a compliance problem. The appliance stores configuration data on internal non-field-replaceable solid-state media, and shipping it back to Fortinet puts that data in an uncontrolled chain of custody. FC-10-FD3K0-301-02-36 is the 3-year Secure RMA subscription that removes this risk: Fortinet ships the replacement unit, and the failed hardware never leaves your facility.

What the Secure RMA Service Covers

Secure RMA (service code -301-) is a Fortinet per-device add-on available across all three FortiCare support tiers. It authorizes the non-return of defective hardware, protecting configuration data, cryptographic keys, and any other persistent material stored on the appliance. The replacement unit arrives via the advanced replacement process included with FortiCare Premium and Elite, so delivery timelines do not change. Only the obligation to return the defective unit is removed.

Who Needs This

The FortiGate 3000F-DC is deployed in data centers where security policy or regulatory compliance restricts the off-site movement of hardware that has processed sensitive traffic. Government agencies, financial institutions, and enterprises operating under PCI DSS, HIPAA, or equivalent frameworks regularly face this constraint. Rather than negotiating a waiver on each replacement incident, purchasing a Secure RMA subscription establishes the process contractually for the full 3-year term.
