Fortinet FortiGate 90G Secure RMA Service, 1-Year (FC-10-0090G-301-02-12)

Not every compliance requirement demands a five-year commitment. The FC-10-0090G-301-02-12 is the 1-year entry point for Secure RMA on the FortiGate 90G — the same on-site hardware retention guarantee, renewed annually or upgraded to a multi-year term when your refresh cycle is clearer.

What Secure RMA Covers

Secure RMA is a hardware replacement contract where Fortinet ships a replacement FortiGate 90G when a failure is confirmed through Fortinet TAC. The key difference from standard Advanced Replacement: the defective unit stays at your location. You are not required to return it to Fortinet. This matters in environments where a firewall appliance may contain stored VPN credentials, IPsec pre-shared keys, local user authentication data, or policy configurations that your security policy restricts from leaving the premises.

The 1-Year term of FC-10-0090G-301-02-12 covers that commitment for the full period without annual renewals.

Who Needs Secure RMA

Secure RMA is the right choice for organizations in regulated verticals where hardware return creates compliance exposure. Financial services branches operating under data handling agreements, healthcare facilities subject to patient data protections, and government or public-sector sites with physical security requirements are all natural fits. It also suits any organization that simply has a policy against shipping a decommissioned network device to a third-party depot without first wiping it — and where performing a verified wipe on a failed device is not guaranteed.

Activation and Delivery

The license key is delivered electronically after purchase, typically the same business day. Register it in the FortiCare support portal using your FortiGate 90G’s serial number. No hardware ships at activation. The Secure RMA replacement process only initiates if you open a hardware failure case with Fortinet TAC and the failure is confirmed. Coverage begins on the registration date and runs for 1-Year.
