Fortinet FortiGate 200F Secure RMA Service, 3-Year (FC-10-F200F-301-02-36)

A three-year procurement cycle is common for network security hardware. The FC-10-F200F-301-02-36 matches that cycle with a Secure RMA subscription that runs the full term of your FortiGate 200F’s typical refresh window, ensuring the failed-unit disposal policy you implemented at deployment holds without annual re-authorization or budget reapproval.

What Secure RMA Covers

The FC-10-F200F-301-02-36 is a 3-year Priority RMA add-on for the FortiGate 200F, requiring FortiCare Premium or Elite as the underlying support contract. On a confirmed hardware fault, Fortinet ships a replacement unit in advance. The failed appliance is then destroyed on-site — not returned to Fortinet — and Fortinet issues written documentation of the destruction. That documentation supports data security certifications and internal audit requirements.

Who Uses Secure RMA on the FortiGate 200F

Organizations that specify Secure RMA tend to be operating under formal information security frameworks where the perimeter firewall is a controlled asset. Common situations include sites certifying under ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II, organizations subject to sector-specific regulations that restrict data leaving the facility, and legal or financial firms where client confidentiality obligations extend to the network equipment that handled their traffic. The 200F’s role as a mid-range enterprise edge firewall makes it a natural candidate for these requirements.

Activation and Delivery

This is a license subscription delivered electronically. After DataCenter360.ca processes the order — typically within one business day — you receive a license key that attaches to your FortiGate 200F’s serial number in the Fortinet Support Portal. No physical hardware ships at purchase. The subscription activates your Secure RMA entitlement for 3 years from the activation date. Prerequisites: the same device must carry an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. Standard FortiCare Essential does not qualify for Priority RMA add-ons.

Secure RMA vs. Standard Next-Business-Day Advance Replacement

FortiCare Premium and Elite already include advance replacement: Fortinet sends the new unit before receiving the faulty one. What Secure RMA changes is what happens to the faulty unit. Instead of packaging it for return shipping, your team or Fortinet’s authorized agent destroys it on-premises with documented confirmation. For organizations audited on asset disposal, this closes the gap that standard advance replacement leaves open.
