Fortinet FortiGateRugged 70F Secure RMA Service, 5-Year (FC-10-F70FB-301-02-60)

Standard RMA programs work for most deployments, but industrial and classified environments often cannot return failed hardware through a standard logistics chain. The FC-10-F70FB-301-02-60 provides five years of Secure RMA for the FortiGateRugged 70F, pairing hardware replacement with certified on-site destruction of the failed unit to address chain-of-custody requirements that normal shipping would violate.

What This Service Covers

FC-10-F70FB-301-02-60 activates 5 years of Secure RMA on the FortiGateRugged 70F serial number it covers. When hardware fails and an RMA case is approved, Fortinet delivers a replacement unit and performs certified destruction of the failed device at your facility. No failed hardware leaves the premises, and Fortinet provides written documentation confirming the on-site destruction. This service requires an active FortiCare Premium or Elite contract on the same serial number.

Who Needs It

The 5-year term suits long-lifecycle OT and ICS deployments where the FortiGateRugged 70F is embedded in utility infrastructure, classified government networks, or industrial control systems. Five years of Secure RMA removes annual renewal overhead in environments where procurement and approval workflows add significant lead time. Sites with data security policies that prohibit failed network equipment from leaving the facility without certified destruction will find this the correct RMA option.

Activation and Delivery

FC-10-F70FB-301-02-60 is purchased and delivered electronically. The license activates in the FortiCare portal within one business day after confirmation from DataCenter360.ca and attaches to the device by serial number. When a failure occurs, Fortinet coordinates both the replacement unit shipment and the on-site destruction visit as a single service event.
