Fortinet FortiGate 3001F DC Secure RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-FD3K1-301-02-12)

The FortiGate 3001F DC stores configuration data on internal solid-state media that cannot be field-removed without affecting the device warranty. When a failure occurs, standard RMA requires shipping the unit back — which many data center operators simply cannot allow. The FC-10-FD3K1-301-02-12 Secure RMA service removes the return obligation entirely: Fortinet ships a replacement device, and the defective unit stays on your premises. This service covers a 12-month term from the activation date.

What This Service Covers

• Advance hardware replacement for the FortiGate 3001F DC
• No return of the defective unit required
• Failed device and any data on its internal media remain within your facility
• 12-month service term from the date of activation

This matters most where chain-of-custody requirements, data sovereignty policies, or internal compliance frameworks prohibit uncontrolled hardware from leaving the premises — a common constraint in government, defense, financial, and healthcare environments.

Who Needs Secure RMA

Organizations in regulated industries are the primary buyers. The FortiGate 3001F DC is a high-throughput, chassis-based firewall designed for data center deployments — when it fails, a controlled replacement process is not optional. Multi-site operators who must follow formal decommissioning procedures before any device leaves a facility also benefit, since Secure RMA keeps the failed unit in place until those steps are complete.

FortiCare Support Levels

Secure RMA is a hardware disposition add-on — it changes what happens to the failed unit, not the technical support SLA. It pairs with any FortiCare tier on the FortiGate 3001F DC. The table below shows how support levels compare across the three available tiers:

Secure RMA is most commonly paired with FortiCare Premium or Elite, where advance replacement is already standard. The add-on removes the obligation to return the defective device — nothing else in the support process changes.
