Fortinet FortiGate 71F Secure RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0071F-301-02-12)

If your FortiGate 71F is deployed in an environment where a failed device cannot leave the premises without controlled disposal, the 1-year Secure RMA provides that protection with a low commitment. FC-10-0071F-301-02-12 gives your organization the right to retain the defective 71F on-site during an RMA event, without locking in three or five years of coverage before you are ready.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-0071F-301-02-12 is a 1-year Secure RMA add-on for the FortiGate 71F. When a hardware failure is confirmed under FortiCare Premium or Elite, Fortinet ships an advanced replacement and waives the standard return obligation for the defective unit. Your team keeps the failed FortiGate 71F at your facility for disposal in accordance with your organization’s policy.

The service requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract. FortiCare Essential is not eligible for Secure RMA or other Priority RMA add-ons.

When 1-Year Secure RMA Makes Sense

Annual Secure RMA is a practical fit for:

• Year-one deployments in regulated environments where policy compliance requires coverage from day one but a multi-year commitment is not yet authorized
• Organizations evaluating the 71F for broader deployment and testing Secure RMA requirements before standardizing on a 3-year or 5-year term
• IT teams that co-term all subscriptions annually and prefer a single renewal date across all FortiGate services
