Fortinet FortiWiFi 50G-SFP Secure RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-WS50G-301-02-36)

A three-year hardware refresh cycle is standard in many IT environments, and the FC-10-WS50G-301-02-36 aligns Secure RMA coverage to that window for the FortiWiFi 50G-SFP. When hardware fails within the 36-month term, a certified technician arrives on-site to destroy storage media under documented procedures before removing the device. The data destruction certificate is included. Requires FortiCare Premium or Elite on the same device.

What Secure RMA Covers

The FC-10-WS50G-301-02-36 provides 36 months of Secure RMA on the registered FortiWiFi 50G-SFP serial number. Following a confirmed hardware failure, Fortinet sends a certified technician to perform on-site data destruction using DoD 5220.22-M compliant methods. A written data destruction certificate is issued before the failed unit is removed. Replacement hardware ships separately, and local staff restore the device from backup. The entitlement runs continuously for three years from activation.

Secure RMA requires FortiCare Premium or Elite. The table below shows how Priority RMA availability compares across FortiCare tiers:

Who Needs This Service

The 3-year term is a practical fit for organizations on standard 36-month hardware refresh cycles and for compliance programs that audit covered devices annually. Financial services firms, healthcare networks, and government contractors often structure RMA coverage to match equipment depreciation schedules. A 3-year Secure RMA avoids two renewal touchpoints within that window while avoiding the longer commitment of a 5-year term when future hardware refresh plans are uncertain.

Secure RMA vs. Other RMA Tiers

Standard advanced replacement (the default under FortiCare Premium and Elite) ships a replacement device quickly but does not include on-site data destruction or documentation. Secure RMA (-301-) adds the certified on-site destruction step required by many regulatory frameworks. For maximum response speed without the compliance documentation component, the -212- (4-Hour Onsite Engineer) or -210- (Next Calendar Day) series may be more appropriate. The 5-year option (FC-10-WS50G-301-02-60) provides the same Secure RMA coverage at a lower effective annual rate for longer deployments.
