Fortinet FortiGate 70G-PoE Secure RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-G70GP-301-02-12)

Chain-of-custody requirements for hardware disposal are not optional in regulated industries; they are documented policy. FC-10-G70GP-301-02-12 provides one year of Fortinet Secure RMA coverage for your FortiGate 70G-PoE, giving compliance teams a serviceable path for hardware failure that meets those requirements. This SKU is the annual version, suited for organizations that need coverage aligned to a one-year contract cycle.

What This Service Covers

Secure RMA changes the return side of hardware replacement. Under standard RMA, a failed unit ships back to Fortinet through normal freight channels. Under Secure RMA, Fortinet applies documented secure disposal procedures, meeting chain-of-custody requirements for organizations that cannot allow potentially sensitive data stored in device memory to move through standard return logistics.

FC-10-G70GP-301-02-12 covers your FortiGate 70G-PoE for one year. FortiCare Premium or Elite is required as the base support contract before activating this service. The 1-year term fits budget cycles and organizations that prefer annual renewals over multi-year commitments.

Where Secure RMA fits relative to FortiCare base tiers:

Who Should Add This

Secure RMA is appropriate for organizations operating under documented hardware disposal policies: federal and provincial government agencies, defense contractors, regulated financial institutions, healthcare environments handling PHI, and any site whose written security policy requires chain-of-custody records for decommissioned network equipment. If your organization audits hardware disposal, this is the RMA tier to use.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-G70GP-301-02-12 is an electronic license. After purchase, DataCenter360.ca sends the activation key to your email within 0-1 business days. Register it in the Fortinet Support Portal against your FortiGate 70G-PoE serial number to activate the 1-year coverage window.

Secure RMA and Your FortiCare Tier

Secure RMA is a separate service, not a replacement for FortiCare. It requires FortiCare Premium or Elite as the base contract. If you need Priority hardware delivery speed in addition to secure disposal, the 210 and 211 series Priority RMA add-ons can be layered. The table above shows what each FortiCare tier provides for standard hardware RMA and support response, as context for where Secure RMA operates within the larger service structure.
